Disinhibited Social Engagement Disorder (DSED)

Disinhibited Social Engagement Disorder (DSED) ( 10 Questions)

A nurse is educating a group of caregivers about Disinhibited Social Engagement Disorder (DSED). What is a characteristic feature of DSED?


Correct Answer: C

Choice A rationale:

Emotionally withdrawn behavior is not a characteristic feature of Disinhibited Social Engagement Disorder (DSED). DSED typically involves overly familiar behavior, not withdrawal.

Choice B rationale:

Lack of social skills could be a consequence of DSED, but it's not the primary characteristic feature. The main hallmark of DSED is an indiscriminate and overly friendly approach to both familiar and unfamiliar individuals.

Choice C rationale:

Selective attachment to caregivers is a characteristic feature of DSED. Children with this disorder may have a lack of appropriate wariness and show indiscriminate social behavior towards people they have no reason to trust, which contrasts with a typical development of forming attachments.

Choice D rationale:

Fear of strangers is not a characteristic feature of DSED. In fact, children with DSED often lack this fear and readily engage with strangers without appropriate caution.
