A child diagnosed with ADHD shows hyperactivity, aggression, and impaired play. The health care provider prescribed amphetamine salts (Adderall). The nurse should monitor for which desired behavior?

A. While communication may improve indirectly, the primary goal of stimulant therapy for ADHD is to reduce hyperactivity and impulsivity, not directly increase verbal expressiveness. B. This may be a secondary benefit, but the main desired outcome is improved behavioral control during social interactions, particularly in play. C. Stimulant medications like amphetamine salts help the child control impulsive behavior, reduce hyperactivity, and improve attention, allowing participation in cooperative play and structured activities. D. Self-regulation skills develop with behavioral interventions and therapy, not directly from medication alone.
