Answer to Question 1

B
These classic behaviors are associated specifically with Asperger's syndrome. Childhood disintegrative disorder describes a condition in which the child regresses in various areas after 2 years of normal development. Dyslexia is a learning disorder in which individuals have difficulty integrating visual information. Rett syndrome refers to problems with motor, language, and social development between the ages of 5 months and 4 years.

Answer to Question 2

B
Many patients find that spiritual measures, including prayer, are helpful in mediating stress. Studies have shown that spiritual practices can enhance the sense of well-being. When a patient suggests a viable means of reducing stress, it should be supported by the nurse. Indicating that prayer is the patient's only hope is pessimistic and would cause further distress. Suggesting meditation or other alternatives to prayer implies that the nurse does not think prayer would be effective.
