Cystic fibrosis.

The nurse is an indispensable member of the team of health professionals 
who provide the comprehensive treatment needed by patients with the complex, 
emotionally, and physically demanding disease, cystic fibrosis. Comprehensive medical management by 
a health care team composed of the physician, nurse, social worker, 
physical therapist, nutritionist, and psychologist is essential for patients with CF 
and other forms of obstructive pulmonary disease.
