Answer to Question 1

A
High-dose ibuprofen is recommended in children and young adolescents with mild CF who have good lung function (an FEV1 >60 predicted) and no contraindications (e.g., gastrointestinal bleeding or renal impairment). Ibuprofen has been shown to reduce bronchial inflammation without hindering bacterial clearanceresulting in the decline of the patient's FEV1 per yearwith no remarkable side effects except painless gastrointestinal bleeding in 1 to 2 of patients. High-dose ibuprofen is thought to work by decreasing neutrophil migration and inflammation in the lungs. The initiation of ibuprofen is not recommended after the age of 13 years.

Answer to Question 2

C
Appropriate pain management is needed with a flail chest injury. Mechanical ventilation with PEEP will stabilize the chest and provide ventilatory support.
