weight gain during infancy and childhood.

blockage of ducts leading to and from the pancreas.

Answer 1

Poor disease management of cystic fibrosis can result in the following:

1. Destruction of pancreatic tissue.
2. Reduced enzymatic activity that causes nutrient malabsorption.
3. Blockage of ducts leading to and from the pancreas.

Weight gain during infancy and childhood is typically not a result of poor disease management; in fact, children with cystic fibrosis often struggle with maintaining a healthy weight due to malabsorption issues and increased energy demands. Therefore, that option is not applicable in this context.
