    A nurse is providing discharge teaching about nutrition to the parents of a 9-year-old child with cystic fibrosis (CF). The nurse should recognize that which statement made by the mother indicates understanding about nutrition?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Pancreatic enzymes are essential for children with CF to help digest food properly, especially with each meal or snack. B. Children with CF often have higher salt needs due to excessive salt loss in sweat, so restricting salt is not appropriate. C. Fluid intake should generally be encouraged to prevent dehydration and help thin secretions. D. High-calorie, high-protein meals are typically recommended for children with CF to support growth and nutritional needs.
