Addiction is most likely the answer.
Which question is it there are multiple ???
Stimulant, has a paradoxical effect in children, producing
calmness in children with hyperactive behavior. The exact mechanism of action
is not clearly understood. Stimulant
medications used to treat ADHD can suppress appetite, and the child may lose or
fail to gain weight properly. The client is too young to manage his medications
independently. Ritalin should be given in divided doses.
1. it is a non spontaneous chemical reaction
2. change in gibs free energy (∆G) is positive ie., ∆G>0
3. entropy is included in any change in gibs free energy. ie, ∆G= ∆H-T.∆S
where,
∆G = change in gibs free energy
∆H= change in enthalpy
∆S= change in entropy
T= temperature in kelvin
4. in this reaction the total amount of energy is a loss, (ie., more energy is needed to start the reaction than the energy obtained from it)
5. total energy is a negative net result.
6. in metabolism endergonic process is anabolic, ie., energy is stored.
7. examples: protein synthesis, Na+/K+ pump (drives nerve conduction and muscle contraction).
