A child who has spina bifida occulta


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is collecting data from a child who has spina bifida occulta. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Dimple in sacral area. In spina bifida occulta, there is a small gap in the spine but no protrusion of the spinal cord or meninges. A dimple in the sacral area is a common physical finding. Flaccid paralysis of lower extremities (
A) is more characteristic of myelomeningocele, not occulta. Hip dislocation (
B) is not typically associated with spina bifida occulta. Hydrocephalus (
C) is more commonly seen with myelomeningocele as well. The presence of a dimple in the sacral area is a key indicator of spina bifida occulta due to the incomplete closure of the spinal column.
