Answer to Question 1

Rationale: There is limited information on the long-term effects of stimulants or the impact of treatment when the child is on medication for 10 years or more. This medication is used to treat attention deficit disorder and should be given in the morning to prevent problems sleeping at night.

Answer to Question 2

Rationale: Decreased gastric motility and tachycardia. Decreased gastric motility and tachycardia may occur with a dopamine-acetylcholine imbalance in the extrapyramidal system.
