A nurse is helping parents who have a child with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Which strategy will the nurse share with the parents to reduce stress regarding homework assignments?
a. Time-management skills
b. Speech articulation skills
c. Routine preventative health visits
d. Assertiveness training for the family
ANS: A
Time-management skills are most related to homework assignment completion. Time-management techniques include developing lists of prioritized tasks. Routine health visits are important but do not directly affect ability to complete homework. Speech and other developmental aspects need to be developed if the child is to be successful, but skill development will not directly reduce homework-related stress. Assertiveness includes skills for helping individuals communicate effectively regarding their needs and desires, but it does not help with homework assignments.
