Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, E
These are a few of the behaviors displayed in children with ADHD. Symptoms of ADHD include 14 possible behaviors. For a diagnosis to be made, the client must exhibit at least eight of these behaviors for at least 6 months. An excellent short-term memory is the opposite of what is seen in clients with ADHD.

Answer to Question 2

B
Risperidone is useful for relieving irritability and labile affect of some children with pervasive developmental disorders. It is not indicated in any of the other disorders.
