A child has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. The distraught mother cries out, I'm such a terrible mother. What did I do to cause this? Which nursing reply is most appropriate?
 
  A. Researchers really don't know what causes autistic disorder, but the relationship between autistic disorder and fetal alcohol syndrome is being explored.
  B. Poor parenting doesn't cause autism. Research has shown that abnormalities in brain structure and/or function are to blame. This is beyond your control.
  C. Research has shown that the mother appears to play a greater role in the development of this disorder than the father.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The most appropriate reply by the nurse is to explain to the parent that autism spectrum disorder is believed to be caused by abnormalities in brain structure and/or function, not poor parenting. Autism spectrum disorder occurs in approximately 6 per 1,000 children and is about four times more likely to occur in boys.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Providing simple directions and praise is an appropriate intervention for a teenager diagnosed with moderate intellectual disability. Individuals with moderate intellectual disability can perform some activities independently and may be capable of academic skill to a second-grade level.
