question 31

Multiple Choice

Jess was born with cataracts in both eyes. Considering brain-expectant plasticity, which is the best course of action?

• A) Take no action until Jess is at least 5 years of age. The brain is highly adaptive and no significant impact to the brain will occur.
• B) Take action at 2 to 3 years of age, after monitoring the effect of the cataracts on vision over time, but before preschool begins.
• C) Take no action, as the brain will adapt to the cataracts and can disrupt the specialized fine-tuning of neural connections.
• D) Remove the cataracts after age 3 years and provide specialized brain exercises to improve functioning.
• E) Remove the cataracts during infancy, as removing them after infancy increases the chance of visual impairments.
