Answer to Question 1

B, C, E
Feedback:
Autoimmune neuromuscular disorders include Guillain-Barr syndrome, myasthenia gravis, and dermatomyositis. Cerebral palsy is associated with brain anoxia. Spinal muscle atrophy is a genetic motor neuron disease.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
After insertion of a baclofen pump, the parents should discourage any twisting at the waist, reaching high overhead, stretching, or bending forward or backward for 4 weeks. The child would avoid tub baths for about 2 weeks and avoid sleeping on his stomach for 4 weeks. The parents should notify the physician or nurse practitioner if the child's temperature is greater than 101.5F.
