CCRN Critical Care Nursing

Category - Neonatal

A nurse is developing a plan of care for a child with cerebral palsy. The nurse includes interventions in the plan of care, understanding that a primary goal is to:
  1. Eliminate the cause of the disorder
  2. Prevent the occurrence of emotional disturbances
  3. Maximize the child’s assets and minimize the limitation
  4. Cure the disorder
Explanation
Answer: C- The goals of managing the child with cerebral palsy are early recognition and intervention to maximize the child’s abilities and minimize the limitations. The cause of the disorder cannot be eliminated. It is best to minimize the occurrence of emotional disturbances if possible, but not to prevent them, because it is healthy for the child to express emotions.
