The nurse is assessing a child diagnosed with conduct disorder. Which would be the most appropriate question to ask the parents?
1. "Does your child have a history of cruelty to other people and animals?"
2. "Does your child unconsciously direct feelings and desires from other relationships toward others?"
3. "Does your child seem to be reassured by your presence?"
4. "Does your child readily seek out caregivers in times of stress?"
1
Rationale: Characteristics of conduct disorder often manifest in behaviors that show aggression toward people and animals; these symptoms may appear as early as 5 or 6 years of age, but occur more typically in later childhood or early adolescence. Transference is a process whereby the child unconsciously directs feelings and desires from other relationships in life onto the therapist. A child who feels secure will readily seek out caregivers in times of stress and is reassured by the caregiver's presence.
