• B. 4 to 6 months

5. What is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children with cystic fibrosis?

• A. Respiratory infections
• B. Malnutrition
• C. Diabetes
• D. Liver disease

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Respiratory infections are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children with cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis primarily affects the respiratory system, leading to thick mucus buildup in the lungs, which predisposes these children to recurrent respiratory infections. Malnutrition and diabetes are common comorbidities in cystic fibrosis but are not the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in affected children. Liver disease can occur in cystic fibrosis but is less common than respiratory complications.
