Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Children with autistic disorder display profoundly disturbed social relationships. Essentially, they lack social reciprocity. They seem aloof and indifferent to others and prefer inanimate objects to people. 1. This might be true for some, but not all, children with autism. 2. It is difficult to assess self-esteem in a child whose relationships are so disturbed. 4. This is not an acceptable nursing diagnosis for an individual with autistic disorder.
