How should a nurse interpret this information? A) Childhood-onset conduct disorder is more severe than the adolescent-onset type, and these individuals likely develop antisocial personality disorder in adulthood. B) Childhood-onset conduct disorder is caused by a difficult temperament, and the child is likely to outgrow these behaviors by adulthood. C) Childhood-onset conduct disorder is diagnosed only when behaviors emerge before the age of 8 years, so the client is likely to improve. D) Childhood-onset conduct disorder has no treatment or cure, and children with this diagnosis should be removed from society because they are likely to develop antisocial personality disorder.
