Title: An adolescent Hispanic male with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is taking methylphe Post by: BreakFree on Feb 7, 2015 An adolescent Hispanic male with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is taking methylphenidate (Ritalin). The adolescent will not go to the school nurse at noon for his medication. Which statement best describes the likely result of the nurse’s assessment?
1. The adolescent really does not need an additional dose of methylphenidate (Ritalin) at school. 2. The adolescent is embarrassed about having to take medicine at school; it is a social stigma. 3. The adolescent is fearful that this drug might be a “gateway drug” and he will abuse other substances. 4. The adolescent has developed alternative coping mechanisms to increase his focus during classes.
