After studying the DSM-5 criteria for oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), which listed symptom would a student nurse recognize?
1. Arguing and annoying older sibling over the past year
2. Angry and resentful behavior over a three-month period
3. Initiating physical fights for more than 18 months
4. Arguing with authority figures for more than six months
4
Rationale: The DSM-5 rules out the diagnosis of ODD when only siblings are involved in argumentative interactions. Angry and resentful behavior over more than six months, not three months, would be considered a symptom of ODD. Initiating physical fights is a symptom of conduct disorder, not ODD. Arguing with authority figures for more than six months is listed by the DSM-5 as a symptom for the diagnosis of ODD.
