Parents/guardians should be encouraged but not required to participate in medical rounds and nursing change of shift (difference between family centered and family focused). They may not be able to be present or may be intimidated by or confused by rounds and prefer summaries afterwards.
The cost of food is a physical need of the child.
The staff plays a role in promoting family-centered care, but the statement does not state how this care is provided.
Only one answer is correct.

1. Shorter assignments will help the child focus for short amounts of time and be more successful because this is his/her length of concentration.
2. Shifting weight on the legs while standing can be enough of an activity for a child with ADHD to concentrate.
3. Color coding can aid the child to easily identify items and not become frustrated when attempting to find items in a desk or locker.
4. A classroom can have too much stimuli for a child with ADHD, and that length of time may cause the child to lose concentration.
