Disinhibited Social Engagement Disorder (DSED)

Disinhibited Social Engagement Disorder (DSED) ( 10 Questions)

(Select all that apply): A nurse is assessing a child suspected of having Disinhibited Social Engagement Disorder (DSED). Which clinical manifestations are commonly associated with DSED? (Select three.).


Correct Answer: ["B","C","D"]

Choice A rationale:

Social withdrawal is not commonly associated with Disinhibited Social Engagement Disorder (DSED). Children with DSED tend to display excessive familiarity with strangers and inappropriate behavior towards caregivers, rather than withdrawing from social interactions.

Choice B rationale:

Excessive familiarity with strangers is a hallmark manifestation of Disinhibited Social Engagement Disorder (DSED). Children with this disorder often show a lack of appropriate fear or caution around unfamiliar individuals, readily approaching and interacting with them.

Choice C rationale:

Emotional detachment is one of the clinical manifestations commonly associated with DSED. Children with DSED may struggle with forming appropriate emotional bonds and exhibit a lack of selectivity in their social interactions, showing a lack of preference for familiar caregivers over strangers.

Choice D rationale:

Inappropriate behavior toward caregivers is another characteristic feature of Disinhibited Social Engagement Disorder (DSED). Children with DSED may not display the expected attachment-related behaviors and may engage in overly familiar or even overly intimate behaviors with individuals they barely know.

Choice E rationale:

Poor hygiene is not typically a recognized clinical manifestation of Disinhibited Social Engagement Disorder (DSED). This choice is not directly related to the core symptoms of the disorder.
