The nurse is counseling the parents an adolescent client who is experiencing behavioral problems. Which assessment tool would be appropriate for the nurse to use to further assess this adolescent?
1. Family Psychosocial Screening.
2. Eyeburg Child Behavior Inventory.
3. Ages and Stages Questionnaire.
4. Child Development Inventory.
Correct Answer: 2
The Eyeburg Child Behavior Inventory is a parent report scale of conduct problems in children ages 2 to 16 and would be the best choice for the nurse in this situation. The Family Psychosocial Screening is a tool that helps to identify psychosocial risk factors associated with developmental problems, such as parental history of physical abuse as a child, parental substance abuse, and maternal depression. The Ages and Stages Questionnaire is a tool that covers developmental areas of communication, gross and fine motor, and problem solving, not behavior. The Child Development Inventory is used to measure development in children between the ages of 15 months to 6 years and is not appropriate for a young teenager.
