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. In intermittent explosive disorder (IE
D), individuals exhibit sudden and intense episodes of aggression or violence. They may act impulsively without considering consequences or feeling remorse afterward. This lack of remorse is a key characteristic of IED, distinguishing it from other behavioral disorders like conduct disorder where remorse might be present.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because mild outbursts with provocation, blaming others for behavior, and difficulty coping with stressors are not specific to IED but can be seen in various other behavioral disorders or stress-related conditions.
