Answer to Question 1

C
Stimulants do not suppress negative behaviors directly and do not directly cause a decrease in hyperactivity. They act by improving attention and focus so that positive behaviors can be learned to replace negative behaviors. Insomnia and poor appetite are common side effects and should be reported to the provider, because alternate dosing regimens often counteract these ef-fects. Taking the medication either during or after breakfast prevents morning appetite suppres-sion at breakfast time. Stimulants improve focus and allow new, more positive behaviors to be learned.

Answer to Question 2

B
To help ensure adequate absorption of calcium, no more than 600 mg should be consumed at one time. Chewable calcium tablets are recommended because of their more consistent bioavailability. The amount of supplemental calcium should be enough to compensate for what is not consumed in the diet and should not constitute the total amount needed per day. Green, leafy vegetables reduce the absorption of calcium.
