Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Safety is the primary nursing intervention. Behavior medication tools are important, but safety comes first. Autism at this point is not curable. Determining the type of autism is not a nursing goal.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Though all of these behaviors may occur at some time in autism, impaired social interaction is the overriding symptom that occurs in this disorder.
