طفل عمره ٨ سنوات ما يقدر يجلس في الفصل، يقاطع زملاءه، وينسى واجباته منذ سنتين في البيت والمدرسة. بدأ ميثيلفينيديت. أي تعليم صحيح؟

An 8-year-old cannot sit in class, interrupts classmates and forgets homework at home and school for two years. He starts methylphenidate. Which teaching is correct?

1. Stop it if his appetite increases
2. Give it at bedtime to improve sleep
3. Give it in the morning; track weight
4. Give it only on exam days

Answer: C) Give it in the morning; track weight. Stimulants cause insomnia and poor appetite, so they are given in the morning with monitoring of appetite, weight, height and pulse.
