A nurse is planning care for an adolescent who has autism spectrum disorder. Which of the following outcomes should the nurse include in the plan of care?

A. Delusions are not characteristic of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The focus for ASD is on communication, social interaction, and behavior management. B. Encouraging social interaction is essential for clients with ASD. This goal supports the development of communication and social skills, which are areas often challenging for individuals with ASD. C. ASD typically involves difficulties with social interactions and communication, not manipulation. The focus should be on helping the adolescent develop appropriate communication strategies. D. Changing behavior due to peer pressure is not typically a goal for adolescents with ASD, as they often have difficulty understanding and responding to peer pressure. The focus should be on helping them develop skills for independent decision-making and social communication.
