A child recently diagnosed with cerebral palsy


Question 1 of 5

The parents of a child recently diagnosed with cerebral palsy ask the nurse about the limitations of the disorder. The nurse responds by explaining that the limitations occur as a result of which pathophysiological process?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: A chronic disability characterized by impaired muscle movement and posture. Cerebral palsy is a neurological disorder that affects muscle control and movement due to damage to the developing brain. This results in limitations in movement, posture, and coordination.

A: An infectious disease of the central nervous system is incorrect because cerebral palsy is not caused by an infection.
B: An inflammation of the brain as a result of a viral illness is incorrect because cerebral palsy is not a result of brain inflammation from a viral illness.
D: A congenital condition that results in moderate to severe intellectual disabilities is incorrect because cerebral palsy primarily affects motor function, not intellectual abilities.

In summary, the limitations in cerebral palsy are due to impaired muscle movement and posture resulting from damage to the developing brain, not from infectious diseases, brain inflammation, or intellectual disabilities.
