A nurse is reviewing factors that determine a client's health risk with a newly licensed nurse. Which of the following factors should the nurse include?

C. Codependency refers to a dysfunctional pattern of behavior in which a person excessively relies on another individual (often a partner or family member) for their sense of identity, self- worth, or emotional well-being. In this scenario, the partner's demand to see the client's records

and treatment plan, as well as the assertion of needing to oversee the treatment, suggests an excessive need for control and involvement in the client's life and healthcare decisions.

A. Manipulation involves influencing or controlling someone in a deceptive or dishonest way to achieve one's own goals.

B. Marginalization refers to the exclusion or relegation of a person or group to a lower or outer edge of society or a group.

D. Enabling refers to behaviors that unintentionally or intentionally allow someone to continue engaging in harmful behaviors or avoid facing consequences.

B. The symptoms described—hyperactivity, impulsivity, and inattentiveness—are characteristic of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Central nervous system (CNS) stimulants, such as methylphenidate or amphetamine-based medications, are commonly prescribed as first- line treatments for ADHD.

A. While dopamine dysregulation is implicated in ADHD, dopamine antagonists are more commonly used to treat psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia.

C. While they may be prescribed for conditions such as depression, anxiety, and certain other mood disorders, they are not typically used as first-line treatment for ADHD.

D. Benzodiazepines are a class of medications primarily used to treat anxiety, insomnia, and seizures. They are not indicated for the treatment of ADHD and do not address the core symptoms of the disorder.
