The nurse knows that the mother of a 6-year-old needs has a need for further teaching about her son's diagnosis of ADHD when she states:

Rationale: A. "I will give him his ADHD medication with his meals": Stimulant medications for ADHD can sometimes cause gastrointestinal upset, and giving them with food may help minimize this side effect. B. "I will take my child to the physician every three months for a weight and height check.": Regular monitoring of growth is essential because stimulant medications can decrease appetite and potentially slow growth. A three-month interval is an appropriate follow-up. C. "I will let him do his homework while he is watching his favorite television show.": Children with ADHD are easily distracted, and doing homework while watching television can make it harder to focus and complete tasks. A quiet, structured environment without competing stimuli supports better concentration and academic performance. D. "I will stick to the same routine each day after school.": Consistent daily routines help children with ADHD feel secure and maintain focus. Predictable schedules reduce anxiety and behavioral outbursts, while also helping the child manage transitions more effectively.
