The nursing assistant prepares to provide care for a client with cerebral palsy. What is the appropriate action for the nursing assistant to take?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nursing assistant should discover the client's strengths and focus upon them, helping as needed. Focusing on the developmental disability, rather than the client's abilities, does not allow the client to function at the highest potential. Administering total care does not allow the client the right to exercise independence. The client with cerebral palsy does not have communication problems.
