Question
A child is born with developmental disabilities due to brain injury, and parents worry about the child developing mental retardation. How does brain development lead to mental retardation? What are the nursing care measures?
Answer
Poor brain development can lead to various disabilities in children, such as intellectual impairment and motor disabilities of the limbs, with severe cases possibly resulting in an inability to manage daily life, placing a heavy burden on the family. Therefore, when signs of poor brain development are observed in a child, it is important to seek detailed examinations and diagnoses at a hospital promptly and to adopt standardized treatments. For patients with poor brain development, a single treatment approach often fails to achieve the desired results, and it requires combined activities therapy for repeated training, along with physical therapy and psychological treatment for comprehensive treatment assessment.
