Question 1 of 5
Which information about atomoxetine should be included in a lesson plan about pharmacological treatments for ADHD?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Step 1: Atomoxetine is a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI), which is a crucial pharmacological mechanism in treating ADHD. Step 2: By inhibiting norepinephrine reuptake, atomoxetine increases its availability in the brain, improving attention and impulse control in individuals with ADHD. Step 3: This mechanism differentiates atomoxetine from methylphenidate, which primarily works by increasing dopamine and norepinephrine levels. Step 4: Understanding the specific mechanism of action of atomoxetine is essential in educating on its role in managing ADHD symptoms. Summary: Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they provide irrelevant or inaccurate information not pertinent to atomoxetine's pharmacological action in treating ADHD.
