Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
The nurse should instruct the parents to monitor the weight and growth patterns of the child. The child's social interaction or sleeping pattern need not be recorded unless specified by the primary health care provider. Since the drugs administered for ADHD do not cause urinary retention, there is no need to monitor urinary patterns.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
The nurse should ensure that benzphetamine, or any other anorexiant, is not taken concurrently with antidepressant medications. The nurse should avoid or decrease the use of coffee, tea, and carbonated beverages containing caffeine. The drug should be taken early in the day, not around dinner time, to avoid insomnia.
