Question

A child with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been taking methylphenidate for a year. What are the priority nursing assessments when the client comes to the clinic for a well-child visit?

Answer 1

Answer:

a Provide opportunities to increase​ self-esteem.

b Allow the client to study in a family room with the television on.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Priority assessments should be related to the child's weight and growth.

We can arrive at this answer because:

• Methylphenidate is a medication that when consumed frequently can cause a decrease in appetite.

• In children, loss of appetite can impair growth and lower the ideal weight for the child's development.
• This can cause many developmental problems and for this reason, growth and weight should be priority assessments for children taking this medication.

Other assessments include heart rate, stomach function, presence of nasopharyngitis, allergies, and abdominal discomfort.
