A nurse is assessing a 10-year-old child who has an autism spectrum disorder. Which of the following findings are expected?

B. This concept involves understanding how individuals respond to stressors and whether their coping strategies are effective in managing stress and promoting well-being. By assessing whether the client's responses to stress are adaptive (i.e., helpful and constructive) or maladaptive (i.e., harmful or ineffective), the nurse can tailor interventions to support the client in developing healthier coping mechanisms and managing stress more effectively.

A. Although understanding the client's perception of the stressors is important, labeling them as justified or unjustified may not fully capture the complexity of the client's experience or their individual response to stress.

C This concept involves evaluating the moral or ethical implications of the client's actions or decisions in response to stressors.

D. While assessing the client's behaviors and their impact on health and well-being is important, labeling them as inherently good or bad may oversimplify the complexity of the client's experience.

D. Hyperactivity is one of the hallmark symptoms of ADHD, along with impulsivity and inattention. Therefore, the nurse should expect to observe hyperactivity in a client diagnosed with ADHD. Hyperactivity may manifest as excessive fidgeting, restlessness, difficulty remaining seated, or an inability to engage in quiet activities.

A. Hypoactivity refers to reduced levels of physical activity or diminished movement. However, ADHD is typically associated with hyperactivity rather than hypoactivity.

B. Hypohidrosis refers to decreased sweating. While sweating is not a primary symptom of ADHD, it is unrelated to the core features of the disorder, such as inattention and hyperactivity. C While sweating can occur in individuals with ADHD, it is not a defining characteristic of the disorder.
