3 Instructions for Administration Introduction: This manual contains checklists that assess whether a patient with CF is using the correct skills while performing his/her prescribed treatments. Please select only the checklists that are currently relevant for that person and ask him/her to show you how they typically do their treatment (e.g., vest, Flutter ). These skills can be observed and assessed by any member of the CF Team with expertise in this area. For example, respiratory therapists or physical therapists are often best trained on airway clearance techniques. Directions: These skills should be observed by a member of the CF Team. Please ask the patient to show you how they perform each treatment (e.g., airway clearance, use of a metered-dose inhaler). As you observe them performing these skills, give them one (1) point for each skill they perform correctly and a zero (0) for each skill that they miss or do not perform correctly. Please do not provide guidance or suggestions during the assessment process. Scoring: Please give one (1) point for each skill on the checklist that is performed correctly and a zero (0) if that skill is missed or performed incorrectly. Please add up the points each person obtained and include at the bottom of each checklist. When scoring the points for each skill on the checklist, please consider individual clinic differences. For example, if your clinic teaches a slightly different technique, please give credit as appropriate according to your clinic s instructions. Similarly, some families may have newer or older device models. Again, give credit as you see appropriate taking their device model into consideration. After determining the gaps in skills, please use this opportunity to re-teach skills and techniques as needed. Quittner, Marciel, & Cruz, revised 2/14/09
