Question 2 of 5
Which information would the nurse include when teaching parents about task performance improvement for a child diagnosed with ADHD?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. Dividing the homework task into smaller steps and providing an activity break helps children with ADHD manage their attention and focus better. This approach breaks down the task into manageable parts, reducing overwhelm and improving completion rates. It also incorporates movement and breaks, which are beneficial for children with ADHD. A is incorrect because isolating the child can lead to feelings of loneliness and may not address the underlying attention issues. B is incorrect as withholding privileges can create negative associations with homework and may not address the root cause of the attention difficulties. D is incorrect because adjusting medication should always be done under the guidance of a healthcare professional and not as a standard strategy for task performance improvement.
