Correct Answer: B,D,E
Rationale: Delayed language, repetitive behavior, and repetitive play are common in autism spectrum disorder. Long attention spans and direct eye contact are less typical, as children often struggle with focus and avoid eye contact.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is triaging clients injured during a tornado. The nurse assesses a client who has an open fracture of his arm. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
