Jordan, a 15-year-old boy, was brought into the school nurse’s office for treatment of burns to both hands. He sustained the injuries as a result of his attempt to burn the backpack he stole from a fellow student. Jordan has a reputation at school for frequently getting into trouble. The teachers have expressed concern that he regularly bullies the other children as well as challenging authority figures such as the school principal, the school safety officer, and teachers. His mother reports that Jordan has run away from home three different times this school year. Jordan’s father is not available as he is currently serving time in prison for auto theft. (Learning Objectives: 1, 2, and 4)
The school nurse suspects that Jordan has a conduct disorder. What additional information would be necessary in order to support this diagnosis?
What treatment options are available to present to Jordan and his mother?

injury. The burn initially affected the upper half of the client's anterior
torso, and there were circumferential burns to the both arms. The
client's clothes caught on fire, and the client ran causing burn injuries to
the entire face (anterior half of the head), and the upper half of the
posterior torso.
