Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A transient adaptation problem refers to a temporary difficulty adjusting to a new situation or change. In this case, Brandon's disruptive behavior may be related to his grandmother's passing and may improve with time as he adapts to the change in his family dynamic. Conduct disorder, ADHD, and social skills problems are more chronic conditions that are not usually caused by a recent life event.
