Infant with cerebral palsy
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching the parents of an infant with cerebral palsy on how to provide optimal care. What should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Preserve muscle tone to prevent joint contractures. This is important in caring for an infant with cerebral palsy as preserving muscle tone helps prevent joint contractures, which can lead to decreased range of motion and mobility. It is crucial to maintain the flexibility of muscles to promote optimal movement and prevent further complications. Offering a special formula to limit gagging (
A) is not directly related to caring for cerebral palsy. Maintaining immobility of limbs with splints (
B) can worsen muscle stiffness and decrease mobility. Focusing on cognitive rather than motor skills (
D) is not the priority in caring for cerebral palsy, as physical function is a primary concern.
