Question 1 of 5
A nurse is interviewing a school-age child who has intermittent explosive disorder (IED). Which of the following behaviors should the nurse expect the client to exhibit?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Lack of remorse for behavior. Children with intermittent explosive disorder (IE
D) often exhibit impulsive aggressive behavior without feeling remorse or guilt afterward. This lack of remorse is a key characteristic of IED and distinguishes it from other behavior disorders. Mild outbursts with provocation (
B) may be seen in other disorders like oppositional defiant disorder. Blaming others for their behavior (
C) is more typical of personality disorders. Difficulty coping with stressors (
D) is a general symptom and not specific to IED.
