The nurse assesses a 7-year-old girl who has had problems at school lately with her behavior and mood
On the basis of the description provided by the child's mother, the nurse suspects either attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or bipolar disorder may be involved. Which behaviors—when occurring in all spheres of the child's life—would most strongly suggest ADHD rather than bipolar disorder in this client?
A) Hyperactivity and impulsivity
B) Mood and anxiety symptoms
C) Irritability and impulsivity
D) Anxiety and hyperactivity
Ans: A
Feedback:
In children with ADHD, hyperactivity and impulsivity are evident in all spheres of the child's life. Unlike bipolar disorder, mood and anxiety symptoms are not predominant in ADHD; generally, teachers and parents do not characterize the child with ADHD as angry, irritable, and moody.
