Pediatric Nursing ATI Practice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
What is the most likely diagnosis?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A 7-year-old with recent parental separation shows school refusal, aggression, social withdrawal, and temper outbursts, suggesting major depressive disorder (Choice C). These symptoms—irritability, anhedonia (avoiding friends), and behavioral changes—align with pediatric depression, often triggered by stressors like divorce. ADHD (Choice A) involves chronic inattention/hyperactivity, not acute onset. Conduct disorder (Choice B) lacks the mood and withdrawal elements. Separation anxiety (Choice D) focuses on clinginess, not aggression or anhedonia. Depression best explains the presentation.
