  His parents are not worried. His mother said her brother was the same way when he was a kid. Since you are a nurse, do you have any ideas on how I can calm him down? Which of the following would be the most appropriate response by the nurse?
  a.
  I'm not a pediatric nurse; I really don't know what to tell you.
  b.

  Why not suggest that it's time for him to have a complete assessment and suggest the physician call you for an update on how he is doing in nursery school?

ANS: D
In general, MSFW may have the poorest health of any aggregate in the United States, and the least access to affordable health care. Eighty-?9?ve percent of the MSFW are Hispanic, Latino, or African American.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The three major characteristics of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder/attention-deficit disorder (ADHD/ADD) are inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Although parents may notice symptoms and signs, it is often teachers who recognize the behaviors consistent with ADHD/ADD and suggest referral for assessment and treatment. Suggesting a referral is the most appropriate response for the nurse because of the symptoms that have been reported.
