Question 1 of 5

A nurse is teaching the parents of a child who has ADHD about methylphenidate. Which of the following statements should the nurse include in the teaching?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: "Restrict your child's intake of caffeine while she is taking this medication." Methylphenidate is a stimulant medication used to treat ADHD. Caffeine is also a stimulant, and combining the two can lead to excessive stimulation and potential adverse effects such as increased heart rate and blood pressure. It is important to limit caffeine intake while on methylphenidate to avoid overstimulation.


Choice A is incorrect because methylphenidate is not typically associated with an increase in saliva production.
Choice B is incorrect because methylphenidate is usually taken in the morning to avoid interference with sleep.
Choice C is incorrect because weight loss is a more common side effect of methylphenidate due to appetite suppression.
