Anticipatory guidance for the family of a preadolescent with a cognitive dysfunction should include information about:
a. institutional placement.
b. sexual development.
c. sterilization.
d. clothing.
B
Preadolescents who have a cognitive dysfunction may have normal sexual development without the emotional and cognitive abilities to deal with it. It is important to assist the family and child through this developmental stage. Preadolescence does require the child to be institutionalized. Sterilization is not an appropriate intervention when a child has a cognitive dysfunction. By the time a child reaches preadolescence, the family should have received counseling on age-appropriate clothing.
