Which nursing intervention is most appropriate for a school-aged child with ADHD?

A. Encourage multitasking to improve focus: Multitasking can increase distractibility and overwhelm a child with ADHD, making it harder to complete tasks. Focusing on one activity at a time supports attention and task completion. B. Limit physical activity to reduce hyperactivity: Physical activity helps children with ADHD expend energy and improves concentration. Restricting movement may increase restlessness and frustration. C. Provide frequent breaks and structured activities: Structured routines and scheduled breaks help manage attention deficits and hyperactivity. Short, focused periods of work followed by movement or sensory breaks support learning and behavioral regulation. D. Allow the child to complete tasks at their own pace: While flexibility can be helpful, complete self-paced learning may result in inconsistent focus and difficulty completing tasks. Guided structure with support is more effective for school-aged children with ADHD.
