Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Children with ASD require individualized care. The nurse needs to communicate with the child at the child's developmental level. Consistent caregivers are essential for children with ASD. The same staff members should care for the child as much as possible. Children with ASD do not adapt to changing situations. The same foods should be provided to allow the child to adjust. A private room is desirable for children with ASD. Stimulation is minimized.

Answer to Question 2

c. Orient him to his immediate surroundings

Safety is the priority concern. Because he can now be out of bed, it is imperative that he knows about his physical surroundings. Speaking to the child is a component of nursing care that is expected with all clients unless contraindicated. Unless additional impairments are present, his meal tray should be set up, and he should be able to feed himself. Reassuring him and allowing his parents to stay with him are essential parts of nursing care for all children.
