ANS: D
Salty-tasting sweat and tears are a characteristic finding in cystic fibrosis. The diagnostic test for this disorder is the quantitative sweat chloride test. Pancreatic enzyme studies are invasive and not usually performed on children. Pulmonary function studies are done in older children who can cooperate. Large bowel barium studies are not needed.
