Answer to Question 1

A
Immunosuppressive drug therapy is used to decrease the chance of organ rejection. The greatest complication is infection, and the client should be taught to monitor urine for cloudiness and for a slight elevation in temperature, as the immunosuppressive drug masks the signs of infection.

Answer to Question 2

B
Cerebral palsy results from damage to the motor centers of the brain. The infant may have delayed gross motor development, alterations in muscle tone, abnormal motor performance, and reflex abnormality. Improvements in ambulation can be made with the surgical lengthening of the Achilles tendon and releasing the hamstrings.
