Which parental statement indicates correct understanding regarding pancreatic enzyme administration in the treatment of cystic fibrosis?

  • A. "I will administer this medication 4 times a day."
  • B. "I will administer this medication twice a day."
  • C. "I will administer this medication with meals and snacks."
  • D. "I will administer this medication every 6 hours with meals."
Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: "I will administer this medication with meals and snacks." Pancreatic enzymes should be administered with meals and snacks to aid in the digestion of nutrients in children with cystic fibrosis. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because administering the medication without meals and snacks may not provide the necessary support for digestion needed in cystic fibrosis.
