A nurse is assisting in the care of a child who has cystic fibrosis and a prescription for pancreatic enzymes. Which of the following outcomes is a desired effect of the pancreatic enzymes?

A. Passing one or two formed stools each day is correct. Pancreatic enzymes help improve digestion and nutrient absorption in children with cystic fibrosis. A desired outcome is a reduction in fatty, foul-smelling, bulky stools (steatorrheA. and a more normal stool consistency. B. Maintaining an oxygen saturation of 54% or higher is incorrect. An oxygen saturation of 54% is dangerously low and not an expected outcome for cystic fibrosis management. Oxygen saturation levels should ideally be above 90%. C. Maintaining a fasting blood glucose of less than 120 mg/dL (70 to 110 mg/dL) is incorrect. While cystic fibrosis-related diabetes can occur, pancreatic enzyme therapy does not directly regulate blood glucose levels. D. Losing 0.5 kg per week is incorrect. Weight loss is a sign of malabsorption and poor nutritional status, indicating that pancreatic enzyme therapy may need to be adjusted. The goal is weight maintenance or gain, not loss.
