◉ Which factor presents the highest risk for a child to develop a
psychiatric disorder?
a. Having an uncle with schizophrenia
b. Being the oldest child in a family
c. Living with an alcoholic parent
d. Being an only child. Answer: ANS: C
Having a parent with a substance abuse problem has been designated
an adverse psychosocial condition that increases the risk of a child
developing a psychiatric condition. Being in a middle-income family
and being the oldest child do not represent psychosocial adversity.
Having a family history of schizophrenia presents a risk, but an
alcoholic parent in the family offers a greater risk.
◉ Which nursing diagnosis is universally applicable for children
diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders?
a. Impaired social interaction related to difficulty relating to others
b. Chronic low self-esteem related to excessive negative feedback
c. Deficient fluid volume related to abnormal eating habits
, d. Anxiety related to nightmares and repetitive activities. Answer:
ANS: A
Children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders display
profoundly disturbed social relatedness. They seem aloof and
indifferent to others, often preferring inanimate objects to human
interaction. Language is often delayed and deviant, further
complicating relationship issues. The other nursing diagnoses might
not be appropriate in all cases.

diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder was effective? The
child:*
a. plays with one toy for 30 minutes.
b. repeats words spoken by a parent.
c. holds the parent's hand while walking.
d. spins around and claps hands while walking.. Answer: ANS: C
Holding the hand of another person suggests relatedness. Usually, a
child with an autism spectrum disorder would resist holding
someone's hand and stand or walk alone, perhaps flapping arms or
moving in a stereotyped pattern. The incorrect options reflect
behaviors that are consistent with autism spectrum disorders.
◉ *A kindergartener is disruptive in class. This child is unable to sit
for expected lengths of time, inattentive to the teacher, screams while
the teacher is talking, and is aggressive toward other children. The
nurse plans interventions designed to:*
a. promote integration of self-concept.
