    A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the guardians of a 6-year-old child who has cystic fibrosis. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. "Provide homeschooling for your child" is not a necessary instruction. Children with cystic fibrosis can attend school, and with appropriate care, they can often manage their condition and participate in normal activities. B. "Have your child wear a medical identification wristband" is correct. A medical identification wristband is important for children with cystic fibrosis as it can provide crucial information in an emergency, such as their diagnosis and specific care needs. C. "Ensure that your child does not receive the influenza vaccine annually" is incorrect. Children with cystic fibrosis are at higher risk for respiratory complications and should receive the influenza vaccine annually to help prevent infection and reduce the risk of exacerbations. D. "Do not include your child when making decisions about treatment" is incorrect. Involving children in their treatment decisions, as appropriate for their age and understanding, is important for fostering autonomy and ensuring they feel empowered in managing their condition.
