distracted. These symptoms are most consistent with which ADHD symptom
domain?

Inattention is one of the three core symptom domains of ADHD, along with
hyperactivity and impulsivity.
Question 2:

talking," "blurting out answers," "not waiting their turn," and "interrupting
others." These symptoms are most characteristic of:
A) Inattention
B) Hyperactivity
C) Impulsivity
D) Executive dysfunction
Answer: C
Rationale: Impulsivity in ADHD is characterized by excessive talking, blurting
things out, not waiting one's turn, and interrupting others. These behaviors
reflect poor impulse control rather than hyperactivity or inattention.

leaving their seat frequently, running and climbing excessively, and having
trouble playing quietly. These symptoms are most characteristic of:
A) Inattention
B) Hyperactivity
C) Impulsivity
D) Oppositional behavior
Answer: B
