Question 1 of 5
Which nursing statement explains how methylphenidate works when teaching parents about this medication?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. Methylphenidate is a stimulant that works by increasing the levels of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, specifically dopamine and norepinephrine. It helps improve focus, attention, and impulse control in individuals with ADHD. While the exact mechanism of how it works is not fully understood, research suggests that it enhances the activity of these neurotransmitters in the brain. Choice A is incorrect because methylphenidate is not a sedative and does not decrease energy levels. Choice C is incorrect because methylphenidate works by increasing, not decreasing, the levels of dopamine in the brain. Choice D is incorrect because methylphenidate primarily affects dopamine and norepinephrine levels, not serotonin levels. In summary, choice B is the correct answer as it accurately describes the general understanding of how methylphenidate works as a stimulant to alleviate symptoms of ADHD.
