The nurse has reviewed information regarding the adolescent's medication for home use with the guardian and adolescent.
Select the 2 statements that demonstrate the guardian's understanding of their child's medication.

A. Encourage the child to take responsibility for his actions: While ADHD affects attention and impulse control, it's crucial to teach children accountability for their behavior. This helps them develop self-awareness, learn from mistakes, and foster a sense of control over their actions
B. Maintain a consistent routine at home: Children with ADHD benefit from a structured and predictable environment. A consistent routine helps them feel secure, reduces anxiety, and supports better management of their symptoms, including focus and behavior.
C. Provide frequent breaks during homework: Frequent breaks during homework or tasks help children with ADHD stay focused and prevent frustration. This is an effective strategy to improve concentration and task completion.
D. Administer stimulant medication in the morning: Stimulant medications for ADHD, such as methylphenidate or amphetamines, are usually administered in the morning to help manage symptoms throughout the day. This helps avoid any interference with sleep at night.
E. Limit the child's involvement in physical activities: Physical activity can actually be beneficial for children with ADHD, as it helps them release excess energy and improve focus. Exercise can be a helpful outlet for managing symptoms.

A. Understands that death is permanent: Preschoolers generally do not understand the permanence of death. They may view death as temporary or reversible, as their cognitive development is still in the preoperational stage, where they are not fully able to grasp abstract concepts like the permanence of death.
B. Perceives death as a punishment: Preschoolers may view death as a punishment or something they caused, due to their egocentric thinking. They may think that their actions or behaviors (e.g., being "bad") have led to death, as they often see the world from a very self-centered perspective.
C. Has feelings of isolation: Feelings of isolation are more commonly seen in older children or adolescents who understand death better and may have social concerns. Preschoolers are more likely to be confused or fearful about death rather than experiencing isolation.
D. Worries about physical body changes: While preschoolers may be curious about their bodies, their primary focus is usually on the emotional and social aspects of death (e.g., fear of separation from loved ones), rather than worrying about physical body changes associated with dying.
