Varcarolis Ch. 11 Childhood and Neurodevelopmental
Disorders Practice Questions and Answers

1. Which factor presents the highest risk for a child to develop a
psychiatric disorder?



a. Having an uncle with schizophrenia



c. Living with an alcoholic parent



b. Being the oldest child in a family



d. Being an only child - Answer✔️✔️-c. Living with an alcoholic parent



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.

2. 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✔️✔️-a.
Impaired social interaction related to difficulty relating to others



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.

3. Which behavior indicates that the treatment plan for a child 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 parents hand while walking.



d. spins around and claps hands while walking., - Answer✔️✔️-c. holds the
parents hand while walking.



Holding the hand of another person suggests relatedness. Usually, a child
with an autism spectrum disorder would resist holding someones 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.

4. 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.
