Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a school-age child who has manifestations of autism spectrum disorder. Which of the following behaviors should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Displaying intense interest in a particular subject. Children with autism spectrum disorder often exhibit restrictive and repetitive behaviors, such as intense focus on specific topics or activities. This behavior is known as a restricted interest. Other choices are incorrect because children with autism spectrum disorder typically struggle with making eye contact (
A), engaging in cooperative play (
B), and showing flexibility with schedule changes (
C) due to challenges in social interaction and communication.
Therefore, the correct answer is D as it aligns with the characteristic behaviors commonly seen in children with autism spectrum disorder.
