Question

central nervous system stimulants may used to treat which conditions? (select all that apply.)□ hyperglycemia□ hypertension□ sleep apnea□ drug-induced respiratory depression□ attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (adhd)

Explanation:

Central nervous system (CNS) stimulants increase neural activity, which makes them effective for:

1. Stimulating breathing in drug-induced respiratory depression.
2. Reducing excessive daytime sleepiness in sleep apnea.
3. Improving focus and reducing impulsivity in ADHD.

Hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) and hypertension (high blood pressure) are not treated with CNS stimulants; these stimulants can actually worsen hypertension.

Answer:

C. Sleep apnea
D. Drug-induced respiratory depression
E. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
