46
An OT would educate a client with asthma regarding..
breathing exercises, stretching and controlled breathing to manage attacks
47
T or F: An OT would teach a client with asthma self-management strategies (pacing and stress management) and encourage structured peer-group activities to reduce the likelihood of social isolation.
True
48
What is cystic fibrosis characterized by?
the muscle-producing glands malfunctioning and producing secretions that are thick, viscous and lacking in water; these secretions block the pancreatic duct, the bronchial tree and digestive tract
49
What is an early symptom of CF in infants?
blockage of the small intestine, resulting in abdominal distension
50
T or F: Salty-tasting skin is a symptom of CF
True, it's a result of the excessive sodium levels.
