Answer to Question 1

C
According to the WHO, drowning ranks third among the causes of unintentional deaths worldwide.

Answer to Question 2

A
Systemic glucocorticoids are not recommended in children and adolescents with CF. The benefits of systemic glucocorticoids are outweighed by the adverse effects on growth retardation, glucose metabolism, development of CF-related diabetes, and cataract risks. High-dose ibuprofen is recommended in children and young adolescents with mild CF. Ibuprofen has been shown to reduce bronchial inflammation without hindering bacterial clearance. Antibiotics are commonly administered to prevent or combat chronic respiratory tract infections. Inhaled DNase (Dornase alpha) (Pulmozyme) has been shown to be especially helpful in the management of patients with moderate to severe CF. This aerosolized agent is an enzyme that breaks down the DNA of the thick bronchial mucus associated with chronic bacterial infections with CF.
