A child with autism spectrum disorder
Question 1 of 5
A nurse at an inpatient facility is planning care for a child who has autism spectrum disorder. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Keep staff visits with the child brief. Children with autism spectrum disorder often have difficulties with social interactions and may become overwhelmed by prolonged interactions. Keeping staff visits brief helps to minimize potential stress and sensory overload for the child. It allows the child to have time to process information and maintain a sense of predictability in their environment.
Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. Varying daily routines (
A) can be disruptive and distressing for a child with autism who thrives on predictability. Keeping the television on for background noise (
B) can be distracting and overwhelming for a child with sensory sensitivities. Placing the child in a semiprivate room (
D) may lead to increased exposure to external stimuli and disruptions, which can exacerbate the child's symptoms.
