The treatment team discusses adding a new prescription for lisdexamfetamine dimesylate to the plan of care for a patient diagnosed with binge eating disorder. Which finding from the nursing assessment is most important for the nurse to share with the team?

A) The patient's history of poly-substance abuse
B) The patient's preference for homeopathic remedies
C) The patient's family history of autoimmune disorders
D) The patient's comorbid diagnosis of a learning disability

Lisdexamfetamine dimesylate is designed to suppress the appetite and presents a risk for abuse. The patient with a history of substance abuse is at risk to abuse this medication as well. The patient's preference for homeopathic remedies is a consideration, but the history of substance abuse has a higher priority. Lisdexamfetamine dimesylate is commonly used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder rather than learning disabilities. A history of autoimmune disorders in the family is irrelevant.
