1. Lending of money may not be in the best interest of the patient/parent.
2. Presumably, the nurse wouldn't do it for all patients/families. If small emergency loans are to be made, they shouldn't come from an individual nurse, but from a managed fund that has rules attached and is anonymous. A nurse is a caring/nurturing professional, not a friend, a family member, or a banker (all of whom might, as part of their role, lend money). If one nurse does it, it generates expectations/pressures for other nurses.
3. The nurse did not promise to give money to the family.
4. Only one answer is correct.

1. Identifying an alternative to the obsessive behavior will aid the child with autism in changing the behavior.
2. Family therapy will aid in stopping the obsessive behaviors, but the child should also receive behavior modification therapy to reach the full potential.
3. Social skills are developed through interactions, and it is not for the treatment of obsessions.
4. Medications can help with obsessive behavior, but the child should also receive behavior modification therapy to reach the full potential.
