The mother of a child with cystic fibrosis tells the nurse that her child makes “snoring” sounds when breathing. The nurse is aware that many children with cystic fibrosis have:

  

     A. Enlarged adenoids

     B. Choanal atresia

     C. Chronic sinusitis

     D. Septal deviations

    

    

Correct Answer: C. Chronic sinusitis

---

Option C: Children with cystic fibrosis are susceptible to chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps, which might require surgical removal.

---

Option B: Choanal atresia is a congenital condition in which there is a bony obstruction between the nares and the pharynx.

Options A and D: Enlarged adenoids and septal deviations are not specific to the child with cystic fibrosis.
