Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Postural drainage, percussion, and vibration is the most appropriate airway clearance technique for a 15-month-old infant with cystic fibrosis as it is safe, effective and does not require any equipment. Other techniques such as positive expiratory pressure therapy or intrapulmonary percussive ventilation may not be suitable for infants due to their age and size, while mechanical insufflation-exsufflation may be too invasive for a young child.
