Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a 4-year-old child who has autism spectrum disorder. Which of the following behaviors should the nurse expect? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: A,C,D
Rationale: The correct behaviors to expect in a child with autism spectrum disorder are lack of eye contact, constant spinning of a toy, and withdrawal from physical contact. Lack of eye contact is a common characteristic in individuals with autism, as they may have difficulty with social interactions. Constant spinning of a toy is a repetitive behavior often seen in children with autism as a way to self-soothe or seek sensory stimulation. Withdrawal from physical contact can occur due to sensory sensitivities or difficulty with communication. Inability to play quietly (choice
B) is not a specific behavior associated with autism. The child may have difficulty with social interactions, but this does not necessarily result in inability to play quietly.
