Walden University -NURS-6630: Approaches to Treatments. WeeK4 Assignment. Case Study Week 9: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Introduction Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (AD H... D) is a brain malfunction evident by a continuous structure of inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity that disturbs the development of the patient (A Lee, 2016). Distraction is among the primary signs that show that an individual might have ADHD. Lack of attention is noticeable when a person drifts off task, falls short of persistence, unable to have a sustained focus and is disorganized. This kind of inattention is not caused by defiance or lack of understanding. References A Lee, Y. (2016). Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
