Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

Promoting optimal development in all areas is the goal of therapy with children with CP. CP is caused by a probable brain insult and cannot be cured. Most children with CP have normal IQs, but they might have behavior or perceptual problems. CP is caused by an irreversible brain insult.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A, B, E

The child with cerebral palsy will demonstrate poor social skills; therefore Deficient Diversional Activity would be an appropriate diagnosis for the child, not the family. The child with CP is more likely to have impaired mobility. Risk for Injury may be an appropriate diagnosis for the child with CP depending on the type and severity. The parent will experience anxiety and caregiver role strain.
