, The nurse is discussing the need for early diagnosis and treatment of autism spectrum
disorder (ASD) with parents of children suspected of having the condition.Which
statement should the nurse include?
a. "Early diagnosis and treatment provides the only means for a cure of ASD."
b. "Early diagnosis and treatment gives your child the best chance of becoming a fully
functioning adult."
c. "Early diagnosis and treatment provides the best way to ensure that your child can be
admitted to an assisted living facility as an adult."
d. "Early diagnosis and treatment prevents your child from developing any other mental
condition." - CORRECT ANSWER-b. "Early diagnosis and treatment gives your child
the best chance of becoming a fully functioning adult."
Early diagnosis and treatment of ASD provides access to treatments and therapies that
give patients the best chance to become fully functioning adults. Undiagnosed or
untreated ASD decreases quality of life and the likelihood that comorbid conditions such
as depression will be identified. ASD is a lifelong condition and is not "cured." Early
detection and treatment does not prevent the development of any other mental
condition but allows for the early diagnosis and treatment of depression or anxiety. It
does not help the adult with ASD enter into an assistive living facility.
