Ans: D
Based on the mother's comments, the priority nursing diagnosis is Social Isolation related to poor social skills of the child. This nursing diagnosis is substantiated by the mother's statement that the child has few playmates and has difficulty interacting with other children. There is no information provided to suggest a self-care deficit or risk for injury. Statements about the family's issues with the child and his disorder would support a nursing diagnosis of Compromised Family Coping.
