for a 13-year-old boy for inattention B. Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder,
and poor grades. During Predominantly Inattentive Type
observations and interactions with C. Autism Spectrum Disorder
the student, the therapist D. Learning Disorder
experiences the boy as intelligent
and highly verbal but notes that he
has difficulty following instructions
and reports that he avoids reading
and writing activities. The initial
diagnosis is MOST likely:
,(Correct) The answer to question 2 is Conduct disorder is incorrect because no where in
D: Rationale: the stem does it indicate aggressive, destructive,
deceitful behavior or a violation of rules which are
common symptoms of conduct disorder. ADHD is
incorrect because according to the DSM-5,
symptoms of ADHD must be present before age 12
and in this case the boy is older than that and it
does not specify that his symptoms began before
age 12. Autism Spectrum Disorder is incorrect
because the child does not exhibit difficulties in
language, both verbal and nonverbal, or with
social interactions. Therefore, a learning disorder
would be the most likely initial diagnoses because
the boy is exhibiting symptoms such as difficulty
following instructions and avoiding reading and
writing.

girl with moderately severe cerebral B. Autism Spectrum Disorder
palsy. Among other symptoms, the C. Rumination Disorder

often observed attempting to chew
and eat non-food items, including
sand and houseplants. Sometimes
they are able to intervene while she
is chewing on the item, but she has
been hospitalized on one occasion
for ingesting leaves from a
potentially harmful plant. What is the
MOST likely diagnosis in this case?
,(Correct) The answer to question 3 is Encopresis incorrect because this occurs when an
D: Rationale: individual has bowel movements unexpectedly
which is not indicated in the stem. Autism Spectrum
Disorder would be incorrect because language or
social interaction problems are not indicated in the
stem. Rumination disorder is incorrect because this
occurs when an individual involuntarily regurgitates
food. In this case Pica is the best answer because
symptoms of this include having an appetite for
and eating foods that are non-nutritious or non-
edible, in this case, sand and houseplants.

child diagnosed with ADHD and B. Social skills
intends to use cognitive behavioral C. Basic hygiene
treatment to help improve the child's D. Bladder control
concentration. The therapist will
MOST likely need to help the child in
which additional area?
(Wrong) The answer to question 4 is Social skills is a common difficulty for children with
B: Rationale: ADHD because of impulsivity and difficulty
focusing on one task. Therefore the child may have
difficulty doing things with peers such as focusing
on games, or interrupting conversation. A, C, and D
are not issues with ADHD.
, A couple enters treatment with a A. Avoidant Personality Disorder
therapist due to increasing conflicts B. Histrionic Personality Disorder
and distance after 2 years of C. Dependent Personality Disorder
marriage. The man reports feeling as D. Generalized Anxiety Disorder
if his wife needs his approval for
everything and he's exhausted with
her constant worries and questions
about what she should do. The
woman endorses frequent worries
about her husband leaving her or
dying young and states that she only
asks his opinion because she "trusts
him more than I trust myself." The
man says that he feels more like a
parent than a husband and that this
can't continue. The woman's
diagnosis is MOST likely:
