Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: A teaching session for a child with ADHD should foster attention. Giving instructions verbally and in written form, repeating points, will improve learning for a child with ADHD. The environment needs to be quiet, with minimal distractions. A child who has difficulty concentrating should not lead the session even though the child needs to feel in control. Talking to other children who have had this procedure may not foster understanding, because this child has ADHD. Distractions such as noise from a television should be minimized.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: Autistic children interpret and respond to the environment differently from other individuals. The child needs to be oriented to new settings and adjusts best to a quiet, controlled environment. A hospital room with only one other child is best.
