Angry/irritable mood is not one of the four main diagnostic clusters of Conduct Disorder. The main clusters include aggression to people and animals, destruction of property, deceitfulness or theft, and serious violation of rules. Angry/irritable mood is more closely associated with mood disorders.

Question 5

Conduct Disorder symptoms can manifest in both childhood and adolescence, unlike Oppositional Defiant Disorder which typically appears in early childhood.

Question 6

_________________ damage, impairments in the _________________, and _________________ of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) are thought to be biologically related to Conduct Disorder.&#10;A) Parietal lobe; hippocampus; hyperarousal&#10;B) Frontal lobe; amygdala; underarousal&#10;C) Parietal lobe; amygdala; underarousal&#10;D) Frontal lobe; hippocampus; hyperarousal

Accepted Answer

Frontal lobe damage, impairments in the amygdala, and underarousal of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) are thought to be biologically related to Conduct Disorder. The frontal lobe is involved in impulse control and judgment, the amygdala in emotion processing, and underarousal of the ANS may relate to a lack of fear or anxiety that could deter antisocial behavior.

Question 7

For Oppositional Defiant Disorder, the two most common comorbid conditions are:&#10;A) Substance Use Disorder and Conduct Disorder&#10;B) Major Depressive Disorder and Neurocognitive Disorders&#10;C) Attention-Deficit Hyperactive Disorder and Conduct Disorder&#10;D) Major Depressive Disorder and Generalized Anxiety Disorder

Accepted Answer

Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) is frequently comorbid with Attention-Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) and Conduct Disorder. These conditions often share overlapping symptoms and can occur together, complicating diagnosis and treatment.

Question 8

All of the following empirically supported therapies incorporate parents/caregivers into the treatment of ODD except:&#10;A) Parent Management Training (PMT) and Problem-Solving Skills Training (PSST)&#10;B) Parent-Child Relapse Prevention Therapy (PCRPT)&#10;C) Functional Family Therapy (FFT)&#10;D) Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT)

Accepted Answer

Parent-Child Relapse Prevention Therapy (PCRPT) is not a widely recognized or empirically supported therapy specifically for ODD (Oppositional Defiant Disorder) that incorporates parents/caregivers into the treatment. The other options, PMT, FFT, and PCIT, are all empirically supported therapies that involve parents/caregivers in the treatment of ODD.

Question 9

Which of the following is not identified as prevention strategies for youth violence, according to the National Centers of Excellence in Youth Violence?&#10;A) Foster safe, stable, nurturing relationships between young people and their parents and caregivers&#10;B) Build and maintain positive relationships between young people and caring adults in their community&#10;C) Develop and implement school-wide activities and policies to foster social connectedness and a positive environment&#10;D) Build viable and stable communities by promoting social opportunities and growth

Accepted Answer

The National Centers of Excellence in Youth Violence Prevention focus on strategies that directly involve relationships and environments that young people are a part of, such as families, schools, and communities. However, the specific strategy of "building viable and stable communities by promoting social opportunities and growth" is broader and less directly focused on preventing youth violence compared to the other options. The emphasis is typically on fostering positive relationships and environments that can directly influence youth behavior and development.
