Long-term goals for education for a child with cystic fibrosis ...

[ts19998]

Long-term goals for education for a child with cystic fibrosis should consist of:
 
  1. Taking enzyme medication before bed.
   2. Only receiving immunizations when healthy.
   3. Learning foods that do not need to have enzyme therapy applied.
   4. Not mixing enzymes with soft acidic foods.

Question 2

A child with cystic fibrosis is at risk for rectal prolapse because:
 
  1. The body lacks enzymes to break down food.
   2. Coughing attacks can weaken the muscle of the rectum.
   3. Large bowel movements can cause the prolapse.
   4. Of muscle atrophy throughout the body.

Feedback
1. The enzyme medication should be taken with meals throughout the day.
2. Immunizations should be received when scheduled.
3. Certain foods do not need the enzyme therapy applied because they already have the needed enzymes for digestion.
4. Enzymes can be mixed with acidic foods and not cause harm to the child.

Answer to Question 2

2
Feedback
1. The lack of particular enzymes does not contribute to the prolapsed.
2. The coughing attacks cause muscle weakness in the rectum, thus causing a prolapse.
3. A child with cystic fibrosis may have larger bowel movements, but this does not cause the prolapse.
4. Muscle atrophy does not occur in the rectum, and thus is not the reason for the rectal prolapse.
