Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
An appropriate nursing diagnosis for a child with autistic disorder would include Disturbed Sensory Perception. Hopelessness may be related to conduct disorder. Disturbed Sleep Pattern would be appropriate for clients with ADHD. Risk for Other-Directed Violence correlates with conduct disorder.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Accepting the child and discussing inappropriate behavior are important. The nurse should not tailor speech to fit the child, exhibit controlling behaviors, or imitate the child's nonverbal behaviors.
