摘要:

Cerebral palsy is a broad Cerebral palsy is a broad range of static, nonprogressive motor disabilities that present from birth or early childhood as a result of injury to neuromotor components of the central nervous system. Motor performance is normally coordinated via communication between the cerebral cortex, thalamus, basal ganglia, brain stem, cerebellum, spinal cord, and communicating sensorimotor pathways. This complex network lends itself to injury at many different levels. Etiologies are numerous and can occur during the prenatal, perinatal, and postnatal periods. The severity of the neurologic deficit and the clinical manifestations are varied depending on the time, location and nature of the original injury. In order to approach cerebral palsy systematically, the primary health care practitioner must be prepared to recognize neuromotor deficits, diagnose and classify the type of disorder, and implement a methodical treatment plan. The purpose of this article is to review the etiology, pathophysiology, diagnostic classification (Swedish system), clinical manifestations, and therapeutic management of cerebral palsy and prepare the advanced practice nurse to care for the individual and family.

摘要:

Esoalating health care costs place our country at an economic disadvantage In the world marketplace. Currently, a mixture of rationing methods in the health care system limits access to control costs. Federal and state moneys fund the state Medicaid programs. States on limited budgets often tighten eligibility to far below the poverty level; those with benefits get unlimited care and those without get none. The state of Oregon has a different idea: Medicaid covers everyone below the poverty level but limits services to those with the “best cost-to-benefit ratio.” Many people consider the distribution and finance of health care an ethical Issue. The Oregon plan raises some ethical concerns and several arguments. The federal government waived Title XIX of the Social Security Act to allow implementation of the plan. Many providers believe universal access is important; however, the drive to see more patients may limit visit time.
