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 give your child the best chance of becoming a fully functioning
adult."

C.) "Early diagnosis and treatment provide the best way to ensure that your child can be admitted to
an assisted living facility as an adult."

E.) "Early diagnosis and treatment prevent your child from developing any other mental condition." -
ANSWER: B.) "Early diagnosis and treatment give your child the best chance of becoming a fully
functioning adult."

Early diagnosis and treatment of ASD provide access to treatments and therapies that give patients
the best chance to become fully functioning adults. Undiagnosed or untreated ASD decreases the
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 do 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.

The nurse is assessing a 3-year-old child for symptoms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
Which assessment finding should lead the nurse to question the diagnosis?

A.) Inability to react accordingly to social clues

B.) Engages in repetitive behaviors

C.) Comprehends language well beyond the complexity of age

D.) Displays self-destructive behavior - ANSWER: C.) Comprehends language well beyond the
complexity of age

While children with autism may have high IQs, they do not understand the nuances of language and
therefore do not comprehend well beyond the complexity of their age, so this is not a clinical
manifestation that supports the diagnosis. Clinical manifestations that support the diagnosis of ASD
include the inability to react accordingly to social cues, engaging in repetitive behaviors, and
displaying self-destructive behavior.

The nurse is presenting to a group of parents whose children are suspected of having autism
spectrum disorder (ASD).
Which statement by the nurse should be included?

A.) "The features of autism are typically apparent by the time a child is 3 years of age."

B.) "You should notice deficits in your child by the age of 5."

,C.) "A feature of ASD is the ability to understand nonverbal behavior."

D.) "A child with ASD should be able to successfully engage in imaginative play." - ANSWER: A.) "The
features of autism are typically apparent by the time a child is 3 years of age."

The essential features of ASD (social deficits, language impairment, and repetitive behaviors) typically
become apparent by the time a child is 3 years of age, not 5. The child with ASD is unable to read
nonverbal behavior or engage in imaginative play.

The nurse is addressing a group of parents whose children are suspected of having autism spectrum
disorder (ASD).
Which statement by the parents indicates that additional teaching is necessary?

A. "The essential features of autism are typically noticed by 3 years of age."

B. "We should notice deficits in our children by the age of 5."

C. "A feature of ASD is the inability to understand nonverbal behavior."

D. "A child with ASD should not engage in imaginative play." - ANSWER: B. "We should notice deficits
in our children by the age of 5."

The essential features of ASD (social deficits, language impairment, and repetitive behaviors) typically
become apparent by the time a child is 3 years of age, not 5. The child with ASD is unable to read
nonverbal behavior or engage in imaginative play.

The parents of a child diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are trying to determine why
their child has the disorder.
In response, the nurse should include which etiology?

A. Genetic factors

B. Chemical factors

C. Psychological factors

D. Toxins - ANSWER: A. Genetic factors
Genetic factors are seen as being one of the associated causes of autism spectrum disorder. Those
with autism have defects in the genes and gene expression in the areas of cell-cycle expression. The
other responses are not thought to cause ASD.

The graduate nurse is caring for a family with a child who was recently diagnosed with autism
spectrum disorder (ASD) and is discussing treatment options for the child.
Which goal of collaborative therapy would require correction from the preceptor?

Advocating for parent support and coping groups

Use of focusing techniques and behavior management

Implementing treatments that decrease maladaptive behaviors such as rigidity and stereotype

Behavior modification through electroconvulsive therapy - ANSWER: Behavior modification through
electroconvculsive therapy

The goals of therapy for a child with ASD and their family include advocating for parent support and
coping groups, using focused techniques and behavior management, and implementing treatments

, that decrease maladaptive behaviors. While behavior modification may be a goal of treatment,
electroconvulsive therapy is not a treatment option for children with ASD.

The nurse is caring for an elderly patient with a history of autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
For which condition should the nurse screen the patient?

Depression

Schizophrenia

Diabetes mellitus

Gout - ANSWER: The elderly patient with ASD has an increased likelihood of developing depression.
Schizophrenia does not develop as a result of ASD. There is no evidence that patients with ASD are
more likely to develop gout or diabetes mellitus than the normal population.

The nurse is teaching about autism spectrum disorder to a group of community members.
Which risk factor should the nurse include?

Maternal age over 40

Female gender

Paternal age less than 20

Parents who are close in age - ANSWER: Maternal age over 40

Risk factors for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) include advanced maternal age (greater than 40),
paternal age greater than 50, male gender, and having parents with an age disparity of greater than
10 years.

The nurse is teaching parents how to communicate with their child who is diagnosed with autism
spectrum disorder (ASD).
Which statement by the parents indicates that further teaching is necessary?

"We will use more complete sentences in talking with our child."

"We will use pictures in talking with our child."

"We will take our child to speech and language therapy."

"We will try using sign language with our child." - ANSWER: "We will use more complete sentences in
talking with our child."

Patients with ASD have difficulties communicating. To improve communication, parents should use
short, direct sentences. Pictures or other visual aids or sign language may also be used to enhance
communication. The patient should benefit from speech and language therapy.

The nurse is planning the care for a patient who is admitted to the hospital for a tonsillectomy. The
patient is also diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
Which goal is appropriate for the nurse to include in the plan of care for the patient?


The patient will try new foods during hospitalization.

The patient will allow the nurse to perform all activities of daily living.
