In this episode, Dr. Morgan Taylor breaks down cerebral palsy (CP)—a high-yield condition you’ll see on exams and in practice—and makes it simple in under 15 minutes.
What You’ll Learn:
How CP can cause permanent, non-progressive brain injury
Causes: prenatal (infection, stroke), perinatal (asphyxia, trauma), postnatal (kernicterus, meningitis)
Key signs: abnormal reflexes, hypertonia/hypotonia, poor coordination, contractures
Associated issues: seizures, vision/hearing problems, ± learning disabilities
Nursing care: safety, ROM, positioning, aspiration prevention, PT/OT, speech & diet support
This episode is a must-listen for nursing students prepping for pediatrics, new grads learning safety interventions, and practicing nurses who care for children with chronic conditions.
