Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Children with ADHD have a distinctively poor attention span. The child is extremely distractible and fails to pay adequate attention to details. Clients with ADHD have difficulty both getting started and finishing the tasks. Clients with ADHD express impulsivity as disruptive and hyperactive behavior, not hypoactive behavior. Clients with ADHD often talk excessively.
