Question 1 of 5

A nurse is teaching the parent of an adolescent who was recently diagnosed with oppositional defiant disorder (ODD). The parent asks,Is there a medication that can help my child? Which of the following responses should the nurse make?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Medication is usually not prescribed to treat oppositional defiant disorder. Let's discuss some behavioral strategies you can use. ODD is primarily a behavioral disorder, not a chemical imbalance, so medication is not typically the first-line treatment. Behavioral strategies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, parent training, and family therapy are more effective in managing ODD symptoms. Other choices are incorrect because they either suggest medication as the primary treatment without acknowledging the behavioral aspect of ODD (
B), state inaccuracies about medication use for ODD (
C), or divert the conversation away from addressing the parent's concerns (
D).
