When teaching the parents of an infant with cystic fibrosis about the type of diet the child should consume, the most appropriate would be a high calorie diet. Cystic fibrosis affects the exocrine glands. Mucus is thick and tenacious, sticking to the walls of the pancreatic and bile ducts and eventually causing obstruction; a moderate fat, high calorie diet is indicated.
