Which predisposing factor obtained during the nursing assessment would cause the nurse to consider a child to be at risk for the development of a psychiatric disorder?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
The correct answer is B: Being raised by multiple caregivers. This predisposing factor can lead to attachment issues, insecurity, and emotional instability in children, increasing their risk for developing psychiatric disorders. Marital harmony (A) is important but not directly linked to psychiatric disorders in children. Regular prenatal care (C) is essential for physical health but not directly related to psychiatric disorders. Developmental milestones (D) being achieved on schedule is a positive sign but does not necessarily indicate protection from psychiatric disorders.
