CASE NUMBER 1
Nursing Care of the Child with Physical or Developmental Challenge
Chelsea is a newborn weighing 2.75kg (6.05 lb) who was born with a cleft lip and palate. She is
the second child of Mr. and Mrs. Jones.
During rooming-in, Chelsea is brought to Mrs. Jones' room for the first time. The couple stares
steadily and looks alarmed at the newborn's appearance. Mr. Jones walks back and forth from the
bed to the corner of the room. Mrs. Jones places the newborn on bed while staring with teary eyes.
She can't help herself from saying, “I am worried what will happen to my poor child. What have
we done to her? Is there any way we can do to resolve her condition?"
The physician explains to the parents the need for sequential repair of her cleft lip (cheiloplasty)
and palate (palatoplasty).

one key teaching need and the best communication techniques to use with her. Provide rationale
for your choice of communication techniques.
