The nurse knows that which of the following factors could be associated with ADHD? 1. Immune response
2. Advanced parental age
3. Prenatal exposure to smoke
4. Measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine
3. Prenatal exposure to smoke
Rationale:
Research shows that a mother's use of cigarettes during pregnancy can increase the risk for ADHD. Immune response can be associated with autism spectrum disorders but not ADHD. Advanced parental age has been associated with autism spectrum disorders but not ADHD. Measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine has been thought to be associated with autism spectrum disorder, though a relationship has never been established through research.
