Nursing Care of Toddlers

What should a nurse teach the parents of a toddler newly diagnosed with cystic fibrosis about the administration of vitamins A, D, E, and K?

ExplanationA. Because children with cystic fibrosis do not absorb the fat-soluble vitamins effectively, they should be given in a water-miscible form. B. These vitamins can be given with other vitamins once a day; pancreatic enzymes are administered with meals and snacks. C. The nurse does not have to calibrate a dose of these vitamins based on the child’s height and weight. D. There is no reason to select juice over milk when administering these vitamins.
