Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The patient and the parents must agree on a behavioral contract that clearly outlines rules, expected behaviors, and consequences for misbehavior. It must also include rewards for following the rules. The patient will continue to experience anger and frustration. The patient and parents must continue with family therapy to work on boundary and communication issues. Separating the patient from the family to work on these issues is not necessary, and separation is detrimental to the healing process.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Central nervous system stimulants increase blood flow to the brain and have proven helpful in reducing hyperactivity in children and adolescents with ADHD. The other medication categories listed would not be appropriate.
