Which clinical findings require further follow-up? Select all that apply.
A. Crepitus noted over the right clavicle
B. Cyanosis of the hands and feet
C. Heart rate of 165/min while crying
D. Jitteriness

Extract:The nurse is caring for a 6-year-old client accompanied by the parents. History and Physical Body System Findings General Client is brought to the emergency department due to shortness of breath; medical history includes cystic fibrosis and many previous hospital admissions for pneumonia; in the 3rd percentile for height and weight Neurological Alert and oriented to person, place, and time; no neurologic deficits Pulmonary Vital signs: RR 30, SpO, 87% on room air; moderate subcostal retractions; bilateral wheezing and coarse crackles throughout lung fields with fine inspiratory crackles at left lung base; paroxysmal coughing that produces thick, yellow, blood-tinged sputum; parents report that the client has begun to become "winded" after showering and other activities Cardiovascular Vital signs: T 101.7 F (38.7 C), P 130, BP 94/58; skin warm and dry; peripheral pulses palpable 2+; capillary refill 3 econds; mild finger clubbing noted Gastrointestinal Abdomen soft with normoactive bowel sounds; parent states, "Swallowing the enzyme capsules is very difficult for my child, and I have noticed an increase in greasy, bulky stools"
Which of the following client findings are consistent with a cystic fibrosis exacerbation? Select all that apply.
A. Blood-tinged sputum
B. Greasy, bulky stools
C. Paroxysmal coughing
D. SpO2 of 87% on room air
E. Temperature of 101.7 F (38.7 C)
Explanation: Cystic fibrosis exacerbations often present with increased respiratory symptoms (A, C, D), fever , and malabsorption issues due to pancreatic insufficiency.
