Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A complete chest evaluation is necessary for CF patients to assess lung function and to determine any shortness of breath or limitations. Evaluation of ADL tolerance and limitations can help to set realistic goals for the exercise program. Evaluation of ROM, strength, and posture can help to identify any areas of weakness or tightness that may impact their ability to perform certain exercises. Therefore, all components should be assessed to create an effective exercise program for a 5-year-old patient with CF.
