A home health nurse is doing the first intake visit for a child who has hemiplegic cerebral palsy. When developing a plan of care for this child, which of the following goals is the priority for the nurse to include in the plan of care?

A. While providing assistance with activities of daily living is important, ensuring the child's environment is safe is a higher priority to prevent injuries. B. Modifying the home for safety is the priority because children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy have motor impairments that increase their risk for accidents and injuries. A safe environment is essential for the child’s well-being. C. Providing respite services for the parents is beneficial for the family’s overall stress management, but it is not as immediate a concern as ensuring the child’s safety. D. Improving communication skills is important for the child's overall development, but ensuring a safe living environment takes precedence to prevent potential harm.
