Theory of Health Behavior Change Questions
Question 1 of 5
Why would a nurse establish goals for a client diagnosed with ADHD that allow the client to complete part of the task, rewarding each step completion with a break for physical activity?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because breaking down tasks into smaller, manageable steps is beneficial for clients with ADHD who struggle with a short attention span. By setting short-term goals, the client is more likely to stay focused and motivated as they can see progress more frequently. This approach helps prevent the feeling of being overwhelmed by a large task. Choice B is incorrect because repetition of instructions is not directly related to breaking down tasks into smaller steps for better focus in ADHD clients. Choice C is incorrect because while the approach encourages independence, it does not specifically address the issue of managing a short attention span. Choice D is incorrect as it focuses on the client's ability to assimilate information rather than the strategy of setting achievable goals for individuals with ADHD.
