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.
