6. When performing a psychosocial assessment on an infant by questioning
her parents, what data gathered during the session would have the greatest
significance?
Information about the mother's pregnancy, including any drug use
Information about the infant's development
Information about the infant's caregivers
Information about the infant's siblings: The correct answer: Information about
the infant's development
Pure brain!
The psychosocial deals specifically with the psychological and social development
of the individual-therefore the best information from the parents of an infant would
have to consist of developmental information about the infant. While the other
choices consist of information that would be helpful in making the psychosocial
assessment, the information provided by a developmental history from the parents
would be of the greatest value.
7. For a diagnosis of delusional disorder:
At least three non-bizarre delusions must have occurred for at least two
weeks
One or more non-bizarre delusions must have occurred for at least a month
