Answer to Question 1

B
Psychostimulants such as methylphenidate and amphetamines provide the basis for treatment of both
adult and childhood ADHD. They are the most commonly used medications, so the nurse could
expect the physician would order a drug in this class. None of the other drugs given as options have
proven useful in the treatment of ADHD.

Answer to Question 2

D
Family stress is greatest when an interruption or dislocation occurs in the unfolding of the family life
cycle. Options A, B, and C are such dislocations. The situation described in option D may be fraught
with stress but the changes are not interruptions; they are to be expected.
