Question 1 of 5

A 1-month-old infant is seen in the clinic and is diagnosed as having congenital hypothyroidism (cretinism). Her parents ask the nurse if their child will be normal. What is the best response for the nurse?

A. Your child will need to take medication for life but has a good chance of normal development because of the early detection. B. Cretinism causes both physical delay and mental retardation in the vast majority of children with the condition. C. There is no way to tell at this point if there is permanent damage; your child will need continual evaluation. D. Your child will need to take medication until puberty is completed; if there are no serious problems by then, your child should be perfectly normal.
