✘

O b.) Be able to verbalize own needs and assert rights.

✘

O c.) Set firm and consistent limits with the client.

✘

O d.) Allow the child to establish his own limits and boundaries.

RATIONALE

RATIONALE: Children with oppositional defiant disorder frequently violate the rights of others. They are defiant, disobedient, and blame others for their actions. Accountability for their actions would demonstrate progress for the oppositional child. Options 3 and 4 aren't outcome criteria but interventions. Option 2 is incorrect because the oppositional child usually focuses on his own needs.
