Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: A child with ADHD may lack connectedness with other children. Participation in a school activity where the rules of working with others can be learned should be encouraged.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: A side effect of Adderall can be insomnia. Administering the medication early in the day can help alleviate the effect of insomnia.
