Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching the parents of a school-age child who has ADHD about atomoxetine. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Give the dose in the morning to help prevent insomnia. Atomoxetine is a non-stimulant medication commonly used to treat ADHD. Instructing the parents to give the dose in the morning helps minimize the risk of insomnia, a common side effect of the medication. It is important to give atomoxetine in the morning to avoid disrupting the child's sleep-wake cycle. Other choices are incorrect because: A: Hyperactivity is not a common adverse effect of atomoxetine. C: There is no specific need to avoid crowds for infection risk with atomoxetine. D: There is no evidence to suggest atomoxetine causes excessive weight gain.
