Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: Tardive dyskinesia has a late onset during the course of treatment with antipsychotic medications.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: A general outcome is for the parents to develop a better understanding of the child's unique temperament and needs. The significance of this outcome is that as they work with the nurse to improve a child's interpersonal skills and become a more active social partner, the child should begin to engage the parents and respond in ways that reward their caregiving. Engaging the child in interpersonal skills will not facilitate the parents' ability to perform the specific functions of administering PRN medications effectively, responding to separation anxiety, or understanding of the child's psychopathology.
