, SECTION 1: Child & Adolescent Assessment & Diagnosis
Q1. A 9-year-old is brought for evaluation of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity present in both home and school settings for over a
year. Teachers report incomplete work and disruptive behavior. The PMHNP’s first diagnostic step should include: Which action best
reflects advanced pediatric diagnostic reasoning?
A. Obtaining rating scales from multiple informants and ruling out learning, sleep, or medical contributors before confirming ADHD
B. Immediately starting a stimulant without further assessment
C. Diagnosing bipolar disorder based on hyperactivity alone
D. Focusing only on parent report and ignoring school data
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
ADHD diagnosis requires symptoms in more than one setting, impairment, and exclusion of alternative explanations. Multi-informant data and
medical/developmental rule-outs are essential.
Q2. A 14-year-old presents with irritability, declining grades, social withdrawal, and sleep disturbance for 3 months. The adolescent denies
classic sad mood. The PMHNP recognizes that in adolescents, major depression often presents with: Which action best reflects
advanced pediatric diagnostic reasoning?
A. Irritability and behavioral change rather than solely depressed mood
B. Only manic symptoms
C. Exclusive focus on somatic complaints without mood change
D. Complete absence of functional impairment
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
DSM-5-TR allows irritable mood as a presentation of depression in children and adolescents; functional decline is required.
Q3. A 7-year-old has repetitive hand-washing, checking, and intrusive contamination fears that occupy more than an hour daily and cause
distress. The most accurate diagnosis to consider is: Which action best reflects advanced pediatric diagnostic reasoning?
A. Obsessive-compulsive disorder
B. Normal developmental ritual only
C. ADHD primarily
D. Oppositional defiant disorder
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
Time-consuming, distressing obsessions and compulsions that interfere with function meet OCD criteria; normal rituals are less impairing and ego-syntonic.
Q4. When evaluating a preschooler for possible autism spectrum disorder, the PMHNP prioritizes assessment of: Which action best reflects
advanced pediatric diagnostic reasoning?
A. Social communication, restricted/repetitive behaviors, and early developmental history
B. Only current academic achievement
C. Solely parental disciplinary style
D. Adult-oriented mood symptoms
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
ASD diagnosis centers on persistent deficits in social communication/interaction and restricted, repetitive patterns, with onset in the early developmental period.
Q5. A 16-year-old with first-episode psychosis has been using high-potency cannabis daily. The PMHNP must: Which action best reflects
advanced pediatric diagnostic reasoning?
A. Clarify the temporal relationship between substance use and psychotic symptoms and consider substance-induced vs primary psychotic
disorder
B. Ignore substance use when diagnosing schizophrenia
C. Assume all psychosis in teens is bipolar
D. Start clozapine as first-line
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
Substance-induced psychosis must be differentiated from primary disorders; ongoing use affects prognosis and treatment planning.
