Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The nurse's major responsibilities lie with encouraging the patient to learn and use necessary skills, assisting the patient to stay on task. The nurse is not an ever-present taskmaster or disciplinarian. The nurse does not teach work-related skills; vocational staff members assume those types of tasks.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Inattention usually persists from childhood into adult ADHD, although hyperactivity, impulsivity, and social impairments may also be present. Headaches would not be expected. Sexual impulses may be affected by adult ADHD, but this area is assessed later. Trichotillomania refers to pulling out one's hair as a tension-relieving behavior.
