Answer to Question 1

D
The primary goal of therapeutic management for the child with ADHD is to reduce the intensity and frequency of unsocialized behaviors. Although medications are effective in managing behaviors associated with ADHD, all families do not choose to give their child medication. Administering medication is not the primary goal. Children with ADHD may have other psychosocial or learning problems; however, diagnosing these is not the primary goal. Interventions to correct nutritional imbalances are the primary focus of care for eating disorders.

Answer to Question 2

B
The chief complaint is documented using the child's or parent's words for the reason the child was brought to the healthcare center. The review of systems includes past health functions of body systems. Lifestyle and life patterns include the child's interaction with the social, psychological, physical, and cultural environment. Health history includes birth history, growth and development, common childhood illnesses, immunizations, hospitalizations, injuries, and allergies.
