    Which of the following should the nurse include when teaching parents how to administer pancreatic enzymes to a child with cystic fibrosis?

    Explanation & Rationale

    Rationale: A. Pancreatic enzymes should be given with all meals and snacks, either swallowed whole or sprinkled on a small amount of acidic soft food (like applesauce), to aid in digestion. B. Bulky, frequent stools usually indicate under-dosing, not over-dosing. C. Antibiotics do not contraindicate enzyme administration. D. Enzymes must be taken with food, not between meals, to be effective.
