title: Recognizing the child with obsessive defiant disorder.
abstract: Nurses may find themselves in a home situation where a child demonstrates characteristics of a child with ODD. While the nurse is not in the home to provide therapy for the child, it may be evident that the parents need help in determining an appropriate plan of action. While it is not the role of the nurse to diagnose the child, the nurse who is aware of the symptoms of ODD may play a very significant role in assisting the parents in dealing therapeutically with the child.
