Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching about neural tube defects to a group of females who are pregnant. Which of the following disease processes should the nurse include as an example of a neural tube defect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Spina bifida. Neural tube defects are congenital malformations of the central nervous system. Spina bifida specifically refers to a condition where the spine and spinal cord do not form properly. This results in varying degrees of disability. Muscular dystrophy (
A) is a genetic disorder that affects muscle function, not the neural tube. Hydrocephalus (
C) is a condition characterized by an abnormal buildup of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain, not a neural tube defect. Cerebral palsy (
D) is a group of disorders that affect movement and posture, not directly related to neural tube defects.
