,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?
"Early diagnosis and treatment provides the only means for a cure of ASD."
"Early diagnosis and treatment gives your child the best chance of becoming a fully functioning
adult."
"Early diagnosis and treatment provides the best way to ensure that your child can be admitted
ck
to an assisted living facility as an adult."
"Early diagnosis and treatment prevents your child from developing any other mental condition."
"Early diagnosis and treatment gives your child the best chance of becoming a fully functioning
adult."
lo
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
yc
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.
ud
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?
Inability to react accordingly to social clues
st
Engages in repetitive behaviors
Comprehends language well beyond the complexity of age
Displays self-destructive behavior
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?
"The features of autism are typically apparent by the time a child is 3 years of age."
ck
"You should notice deficits in your child by the age of 5."
"A feature of ASD is the ability to understand nonverbal behavior."
"A child with ASD should be able to successfully engage in imaginative play."
lo
"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.
yc
The parents of a child diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are trying to determine
why their child has the disorder.
ud
In response, the nurse should include which etiology?
Genetic factors
Chemical factors
st
Psychological factors
Toxins
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.
