Question 1 of 5

A nurse is teaching the parent of a school-age child who has ADHD and a prescription for atomoxetine 40 mg daily. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Administer the medication before the child goes to school in the morning. Atomoxetine is a non-stimulant medication used to treat ADHD. Administering it in the morning allows for optimal absorption and effectiveness during the school day. This helps in improving the child's focus and attention span in a learning environment. Additionally, taking the medication in the morning helps in minimizing potential side effects such as insomnia.

Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because weight gain is not a common side effect of atomoxetine, crushing the medication can alter its effectiveness, and therapeutic effects usually take a few weeks to manifest, not within 24 hours.
