An adolescent client who has been taking amphetamine sulfate (Adderall) since age 7 now presents with new-onset type 1 diabetes mellitus. What should be of highest priority in the nurse's education regarding the diabetes for this client?
1. This medication may be changed.
2. Immediately report signs of a dry mouth.
3. Monitor height and weight very closely.
4. Report any increase in irritability and nervousness.
