Answer to Question 1

3

Rationale: CF is a chronic multisystem disorder affecting the exocrine gland. The mucus pro-duced by these glands (particularly those of the bronchioles, small intestine, and pancreatic and bile ducts) is abnormally thick, causing obstruction of the small passageways of these organs. It is transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait.

Answer to Question 2

1

Rationale: A client with severe anxiety may feel abandoned and become overwhelmed if left alone. Placing the client in a quiet room is also indicated, but it is more important to stay with the client. The client may not feel comfortable being located a distance from other people. It is not realistic to teach the client deep breathing or relaxation until the anxiety decreases. Encouraging the client to share feelings would be appropriate after anxiety has decreased.
