Answer to Question 1

2. I want to make sure my spouse is here, in case I don't hear everything that's said..

Rationale:
Readiness to learn is the demonstration of behaviors or cues that reflect a learner's motivation, desire, and ability to learn at a specific time. The client who wants her spouse involved is demonstrating motivation and willingness, but also wants support from the spouse. Statements about fear of the situation need to be addressed so the fear will not inhibit the learning process. Wanting to wait until discharge or at least until the baby is older reflects uncertainty and possibly fear and should be addressed before learning can occur.

Answer to Question 2

2. My 3-month-old fails to smile at me..

Rationale:
Children with cerebral palsy are delayed in meeting developmental milestones. The infant who fails to smile at 3 months of age is showing a delay. The social smile usually appears at around 6 weeks of age. A baby rolls over from back to prone at 6 months, sits without support at 8 months, and walks at 12 months.

Did you know?

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
