INTRODUCTION
• Cystic fibrosis also known as CF or mucoviscidosis is a common recessive genetic disease which affects the entire body,causing progressive disability and often early death.
• Approximately 30,000 Americans
have CF, making it one of the
most common life-shortening
inherited diseases in United States.

DEFINITON
• Cystic fibrosis is a disease passed down through families that cause thick, sticky mucus to build up in the lungs, digestive tract and other areas of the body.
• It is one of the most common
chronic lungs disease in children
and young adults.

ETIOLOGY
• Caused by a mutation in the gene for the protein cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR).
• This mucus builds up in the
breathing passages of
the lungs and in the pancreas,
the organ that helps to break
down and absorb it.

RISK FACTOR
• Family history. Because cystic fibrosis is an inherited disorder, it tends to run in families.
• Race. Although cystic fibrosis occurs in all races, it is most common in white people of northern European ancestry.

PATHOPHYSIOLOGYCFTR loss of its function as a chloride ion transporter caused by misfolding protein
Abnormal sodium and chloride transport across cell membrane,causing thick tenacious secrection in lung and pancrease
Thick,sticky respiratory secretions that are difficult to remove
cause airway obstruction,resulting in air trapping and frequent respiratory infection.

4.Gene therapy. attempts to place a normal copy of the CFTR gene into affected cells
5.Oxygen therapy may be needed as lung disease gets worse.

SURGICAL TREATMENT
• Lungs transplantation requires surgery to replace one or both of your lungs with healthy lungs from a human donor.
![Page 17: cystic fibrosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062703/5552551bb4c9059a4f8b54fe/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
COMPLICATION
• Many different types of complication can occur with CF. The most complications affect the respiratory,and digestive tract.
Respiratory system include :BronchiectasisChronic infectionCollapsed lungsNasal polyps

CON’T…
• Digestive complication• Nutritional deficiencies• Diabetes• Blocked bile duct

PREVENTION
• Actually,there is no way to prevent cystic fibrosis because it is genetic disorder.
• But,if people or their partner has close relatives who have cystic fibrosis,they both might want to undergo genetic testing before having children of they own.
• If woman already pregnant and the test shows that her baby may be at risk of cystic fibrosis, doctor can conduct additional tests on her developing child.

HEALTH TEACHING
• Encourage patient avoid smoke, dust, dirt, fumes, household chemicals, fireplace smoke.
• Teach patient clearing or bringing up mucus or secretions from the airways.
![Page 21: cystic fibrosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062703/5552551bb4c9059a4f8b54fe/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
CON’T…
• Encourage patient
drinking plenty of fluids.
• Encourage patient to do exercising two or three time a week.

NURSING CARE PLAN FOR CLIENT
WITH CYSTIC FIBROSIS
![Page 23: cystic fibrosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062703/5552551bb4c9059a4f8b54fe/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
NURSING CARE PLAN 1
• Nursing diagnosis : Ineffective airway clearance related to excess tenacious mucus.
• Expected outcome : To improve pulmonary, GI and pancreatic status.
![Page 24: cystic fibrosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062703/5552551bb4c9059a4f8b54fe/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Nursing Intervention Rational
Encourage regular exercise Exercise helps maintain physical wellness and supplements the patients airways clearance strategies by helping to loosen pulmonary secretion.
Administer oxygen therapy and receive digoxin and/or diuretics
To decrease the lungs work.
Encourage coughing, deep breathing exercise and frequent position changes
Promote lungs expansion, mobilization, and drainage of secretions.
Monitor respiratory rate, depth and work of breathing
Respiratory may remain somewhat rapid because hyperthyroid state, but development of respiratory distress is indicative of tracheal compression from edema or hemorrhage.
Assist with repositioning, deep breathing exercises, and coughing as indicated
Maintains clear airway and ventilation.
![Page 25: cystic fibrosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062703/5552551bb4c9059a4f8b54fe/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
NURSING CARE PLAN 2
• Nursing diagnosis : Imbalanced nutrition related to poor appetite and increased calorie expenditure.
• Expected outcome : The patient’s weight will be stable at desired weight for height
![Page 26: cystic fibrosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062703/5552551bb4c9059a4f8b54fe/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Nursing Intervention Rational
Monitor food intake and weekly weight. Regular monitoring can help identify nutriton problem that are severe.
If the patient is too dyspneic to eat, schedule rest periods and bronchodilator treatments before meals.
Eating takes a lot of energy and resting can help conserve energy before meal.
Create a pleasant eating environment. Unpleasant views or odors can spoil an appetite.
Provide smaller and more frequent meals of the patient’s favourite food.
Eating a lot at one time can fill up the stomach and reduce the room for lung.
Encourage family members to bring favourite foods from home for hospitalized patient.
A large tray of unappetizing food may be more than a patient can handle and may spoil the appetite.
![Page 27: cystic fibrosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062703/5552551bb4c9059a4f8b54fe/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
NURSING CARE PLAN 3
• Nursing diagnosis : Anxiety related to dyspnea.
• Expected outcome :
The patient will state anxiety is controlled.
The patient will be able to use technique to control dyspnea and anxiety when they occur.
![Page 28: cystic fibrosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062703/5552551bb4c9059a4f8b54fe/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Nursing Intervention Rational
Remain with the patient who is acutely dyspneic and anxious.
Feeling alone during episodes of dyspnea can increased anxiety.
Calmly remind the patient to breath slowly in through the nose and out through pursed lips.
During acute episodes of dyspnea, the patient may forget that breathing exercises can help.
Teach deep breathing exercises during times when anxiety is minimal and remind the patient to use them during acute anxiety.
Relaxation can help reduce muscle tension and distract the patient.
Administer anti anxiety medication. Medication can reduce anxiety but can also depress respiration, so should be use with caution.

CONCLUSION
• Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator(CFTR) play important role in function as a chloride ion transporter.
• Although there is no cure for CF, treatments have improved greatly in recent years. Until the 1980s, most deaths from CF occurred in children and teenagers. Today, with improved treatments, some people who have CF are living into their forties, fifties, or older.
