The nurse is caring for a neonate with congenital clubfoot. After the final cast has been removed, which member of the health care team will most likely help the neonate with leg and ankle exercises and provide his parents with a home exercise regimen
A. Occupational therapist.
B. Physical therapist.
C. Recreational therapist.
D. Speech therapist.
参考答案：B
解析：After the final cast has been removed, foot and ankle exercises may be necessary to improve range of motion. A physical therapist should work with the child. A physical therapist is trained to help clients restore function and mobility, which will prevent further disability. An occupational therapist, who helps the chronically ill or disabled perform activities of daily living and adapt to limitations, isn’t necessary at this time. A recreational therapist, who uses games and group activities to redirect maladaptive energy into appropriate behavior, also isn’t required. A speech therapist isn’t necessary; clubfoot isn’t accompanied by speech problems.
