Question 1 of 5

The nurse is caring for a child who has cerebral palsy. The nurse notes that the child does not writhe when sleeping but is in constant motion when awake. How should the nurse interpret this observation?

A. The child should be encouraged to do something productive so she will not think about writhing. B. This indicates that the child could control the movements if she wanted to. A behavior modification program may be effective. C. This is typical of cerebral palsy. The nurse should assist the child with activities of daily living (ADLs) as needed. D. The child should be sedated much of the time to prevent the dangerous writhing that occurs during waking.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Involuntary movements during wakefulness are typical in cerebral palsy, and assisting with ADLs supports functional needs.
