What do we include as part of our concussion/head injury prevention teaching to children and parents:

A. Apply cool sterile soaks to the child's head.

Explanation: Applying cool sterile soaks to the child's head would not directly address periorbital edema. Nephrotic syndrome is a kidney disorder that results in proteinuria (loss of protein in urine), leading to fluid accumulation and edema. Cooling the head would not have a significant impact on reducing periorbital edema caused by nephrotic syndrome.

B. Apply warm compresses.

Explanation: Correct Choice. Applying warm compresses can help increase blood circulation and promote the reabsorption of excess fluid causing periorbital edema. Warmth can dilate blood vessels and improve the movement of fluids, potentially alleviating the edema.

C. Encourage the child to eat low protein foods.

Explanation: While dietary modifications might be part of managing nephrotic syndrome, specifically encouraging low protein foods may not directly address periorbital edema. The primary treatment for nephrotic syndrome involves medications to control proteinuria and manage fluid balance.

D. Elevate the head of the bed.

Explanation: Elevating the head of the bed is more commonly used to manage conditions like heart failure or obstructive sleep apnea. It might have some impact on overall fluid distribution, but it's not the most effective measure for reducing periorbital edema caused by nephrotic syndrome.

A. Inattention, Hyperactivity, Impulsivity

Explanation: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. These symptoms can significantly impact an individual's ability to function in various areas of their life, such as school, work, and social interactions.

The other options are not accurate descriptions of ADHD:

B. "Can never be well treated" is not correct. ADHD can be effectively managed and treated through a combination of strategies, which may include behavioral interventions, psychoeducation, counseling, and in some cases, medication.

C. "Inability to learn" is not a defining characteristic of ADHD. While individuals with ADHD might face challenges in learning due to their symptoms, they are certainly capable of learning and can benefit from tailored strategies to support their learning process.

D. "Excess tiredness, impulsivity, and hyperactivity" describes a combination of symptoms, but ADHD is specifically characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Tiredness, while not a primary symptom of ADHD, can be a secondary effect of difficulties in focusing and maintaining attention.
