A 3-year-old is diagnosed with spastic cerebral palsy. What information should the nurse include in the discharge teaching?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Activities should be tailored to the child’s developmental level, as children with spastic cerebral palsy may have delays in reaching developmental milestones. B. Corticosteroids are not typically used for cerebral palsy, as it is a non-progressive condition affecting motor function, not an inflammatory condition. C. Cerebral palsy is non-progressive, meaning it does not worsen over time, though the muscle tightness (spasticity) may change as the child grows. D. While prenatal screening can detect certain risk factors, it cannot predict the occurrence of cerebral palsy with certainty.
