Answer to Question 1

2. An important independent nursing function.

Rationale:
State nurse practice acts include client teaching as a function of nursing, thereby making teaching a legal and professional responsibility. Nurses seek to help clients manage their health independently. Nurses begin to learn about teaching during their training. Nurses are not dependent on health care providers when determining the learning needs of the client.

Answer to Question 2

3. Promoting optimal development.

Rationale:
Promoting optimal development in all areas is the goal of therapy with children with CP. CP is caused from 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 from an irreversible brain insult that cannot be reversed.
