Question 1 of 5

A nurse is providing discharge teaching to the parents of a child who has ADHD and a prescription for methylphenidate. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Monitor the child’s weight frequently. This is important because methylphenidate, a stimulant used to treat ADHD, can potentially lead to appetite suppression and weight loss in children. Regular monitoring of the child's weight can help identify any significant changes and allow for appropriate interventions if needed.


Choice A is incorrect because administering the medication at bedtime can lead to insomnia due to its stimulant effects.
Choice C is incorrect as there is no specific recommendation to give the medication with milk.
Choice D is incorrect because insomnia is a common side effect of methylphenidate and does not necessarily warrant discontinuation of the medication unless severe or persistent.
