Aparent of a 7-year-old diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (adhd) since he was 5 years old is talking to the nurse about her concerns about the sons physical condition. the parent states that his medication, methylphenidate extended release, controls his symptoms well but is causing him to lose weight. it is difficult to get him up and ready for school in the morning unless he is given the medication as soon as he awakens. he does not eat breakfast or very much of his lunch at school; he eats dinner, but only an average amount of food. he has lost 3 lb (1.4 kg) in the last 2 weeks. which action should the nurse suggest the parent do first?
