Nurses and nurse practitioners often play a key role in the management of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a disorder that often persists into adolescence and adulthood. The diagnosis of ADHD requires careful history taking, use of standardized rating scales, and close attention to the patient's behavior and informants' reports. Stimulants appear to be most effective for patients with this diagnosis, but pharmacotherapy for ADHD should be combined with educational and behavioral interventions and careful follow-up to optimize treatment outcomes. Nurses and nurse practitioners must advocate to assist patients and families achieve goals at home and at school.
护士和执业护士在注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）患儿的管理中往往发挥着关键作用，这种疾病常常会持续到青少年期和成年期。ADHD的诊断需要仔细询问病史、使用标准化评分量表，并密切关注患者的行为及他人的报告。兴奋剂似乎对患有这种疾病的患者最为有效，但ADHD的药物治疗应与教育和行为干预以及仔细的随访相结合，以优化治疗效果。护士和执业护士必须倡导并协助患者及其家庭在家庭和学校实现目标。
