Answer to Question 1

B
A calm, matter-of-fact approach minimizes the need for the patient to respond defensively and avoids power struggles. Using this approach, the nurse conveys both control of the situation and empathy. The other options are not principles related to therapeutic interactions with a patient experiencing a manic episode. The distracters allow for manipulation of the nurse and for the patient to control the interaction.

Answer to Question 2

C
Central nervous system (CNS) stimulants are the drugs of choice for treating children with ADHD. Methylphenidate and dexedrine are commonly used. None of the other drugs are psychostimulants used to treat ADHD.
