74  <br/>The PMHNP is discussing autism spectrum disorder (ASD) treatment

strategies with the parents of 4-year-old Jeffrey. He is nonverbal and has been completely unable to adapt to any changes of environment; an effort to put him in a preschool class was what precipitated his evaluation and eventual diagnosis. At this point, Jeffrey’s parents are very committed to doing anything necessary to support Jeffrey’s growth and development and promotion of prosocial behavior. While developing his plan of care, the PMHNP suggests:

A. Structured classroom training with consistent behavioral programs
B. Facilitated communication with a computer or letter/picture board
C. A trial of escitalopram daily to promote decreased irritability
D. An atypical antipsychotic as needed to decrease self-injurious behavior
