C) Voiding pattern
D) Sleeping pattern
Ans: B
Feedback:
The nurse should instruct the parents to monitor the weight and growth patterns of the child. The child's social interaction or sleeping pattern need not be recorded unless specified by the primary health care provider. Since the drugs administered for ADHD do not cause urinary retention, there is no need to monitor urinary patterns.
