Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive (inherited) disorder - the genetic mutation 🧬 causes excessive amounts of thick, sticky mucus throughout the body. This mucus can cause blockages ⛔ in areas of the body such as the bronchi, small intestines, and pancreatic and bile ducts. And when this mucus plugs up the bronchi, it causes lots of respiratory problems ⚠️ for our clients! 📌 Save these cystic fibrosis quick tips for your nursing school and NGN studying! 🙌 #futurenurse #newgradnurse #nur
