Suggesting that lack of bonding or feeding methods cause ASD is inaccurate and perpetuates stigma. Research has consistently shown that parenting styles or feeding practices do not cause autism. This response would increase guilt and distress for the mother.

Stating that the mother plays a greater role than the father in ASD development is misleading and harmful. It reinforces blame and is not supported by scientific evidence. Autism is linked to neurodevelopmental abnormalities, not parental roles.

While the etiology of ASD is not fully understood, linking it to fetal alcohol syndrome is speculative and not evidence-based. This response could confuse the mother and increase unnecessary guilt.

Encouraging family to meet all self-care needs undermines independence and does not promote skill development. While family support is important, overdependence can hinder autonomy and self-esteem in adolescents with ID.

Avoiding interference entirely is not appropriate because moderate ID requires structured guidance. Without support, the client may struggle or fail to complete tasks correctly, leading to frustration or unsafe outcomes.

Meeting all self-care needs for the client fosters dependence and prevents skill acquisition. It is only appropriate in cases of severe disability or when safety is at risk, not for moderate ID where partial independence is achievable.

Hard candies, hot dogs, and grapes are choking hazards for toddlers. These foods should be avoided or modified (e.g., grapes cut into small pieces) to ensure safety.

Large pieces of food increase the risk of choking. Toddlers should be given small, manageable portions that are easy to chew and swallow safely.

Offering information before the client leaves is therapeutic. It ensures the client is making an informed decision and demonstrates concern for their well-being.

Exploring the client’s reasons for leaving is therapeutic. It allows the nurse to address concerns, clarify misunderstandings, and potentially resolve issues that led to the decision.
