Public Health Theories of Behavior Change Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which condition does the nurse suspect when a client blinks when asked a question and coughs when looked at?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Tourette's disorder. In Tourette's disorder, clients exhibit involuntary motor and vocal tics, such as blinking and coughing. This is due to abnormal activity in the brain. Blinking and coughing in response to specific stimuli align with the characteristic symptoms of Tourette's. ODD (A) involves defiance and hostility, not tics. ASD (B) is characterized by social communication challenges, not tics. Conduct disorder (D) involves aggressive and antisocial behavior, not tics.
Question 2 of 5
Which statement by the parent supports the nurse's suspicion of ADHD?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because it directly relates to a common symptom of ADHD, which is difficulty staying seated. This behavior is often observed in children with ADHD due to impulsivity and hyperactivity. Choice B is incorrect as it does not provide specific evidence of ADHD symptoms. Choice C is unrelated to ADHD symptoms and may indicate conduct issues. Choice D, while related to behavior, does not directly support a suspicion of ADHD as it does not mention any characteristic symptoms.
