Question 1 See full question 1m 26s
The nurse is admitting a 15-year-old to the hospital pediatric unit. What does the nurse
recognize as a priority for this adolescent?
You Selected:
The adolescent's need for privacy should be respected.
Correct response:
The adolescent's need for privacy should be respected.
Explanation:
Adolescents must be given privacy, individualized attention, confidentiality, and the right
to participate in decisions about their health care.

Question 2 See full question 21s
A 15-year-old is seen at a health care facility for facial acne. When counseling him, the
nurse would teach him that the basic cause of his acne is:
You Selected:
activation of androgen hormones.
Correct response:
activation of androgen hormones.
Explanation:
As androgen rises with puberty, sebaceous glands are activated to increase production
of sebum, which leads to plugging of ducts (comedones).

Question 3 See full question 1m 49s
With summer approaching, the nurse discusses sun safety with a group of teen girls.
Which suggestion is most likely to be followed?
You Selected:
, Wear sunglasses.
Correct response:
Wear sunglasses.
Explanation:
Sunglasses can be a fashion statement and are likely to be accepted. The other pieces
of advice are less appealing to adolescents who link a tan body to beauty.
Unfortunately, sun exposure is cumulative over a lifetime, and much of it occurs in
youth, making protecting young skin important.

Question 4 See full question 31s
A client has confided in a nurse that her 13-year-old daughter has recently changed
dramatically in her social interactions with others. What is a social behavior most likely
to be exhibited by a girl at this age?
You Selected:
Banding together with other girls and dressing like them
Correct response:
Banding together with other girls and dressing like them
Explanation:
In early adolescence, girls tend to band together with girls. They dress identically with
other members of their group: jeans and sweatshirts, special jackets, or whatever the
fashion may be. On the surface, this makes adolescents appear to be losing their
identities rather than finding them.

Question 5 See full question 46s
The mother of a 15-year-old boy confides in the nurse that she is concerned because
her son is about to turn 16 and is pressuring her and her husband to buy him a
motorcycle. Her husband is okay with the idea, but she is concerned about his safety.
What information should the nurse mention to the mother regarding motorcycle safety?
Select all that apply.
,You Selected:
Require the son to wear a helmet.
Require the son to learn all relevant safety rules.
Require the son to wear long pants.
Require the son to wear full body covering.
Correct response:
Require the son to wear a helmet.
Require the son to wear long pants.
Require the son to wear full body covering.
Require the son to learn all relevant safety rules.
Explanation:
Equally dangerous as cars for adolescents are motorcycles, motorbikes, and motor
scooters, which are appealing because of their low cost and convenience in parking.
Both drivers and riders should wear safety helmets to prevent head injury; long pants to
prevent leg burns from exhaust pipes; and full body covering to prevent abrasions in
case of an accident. Advise adolescents who choose these forms of transportation to be
as familiar with safety rules as automobile drivers and to wait until they are emotionally
mature enough to use sound driving judgment. In the interest of an adolescent's safety
and that of others, parents need to have the courage to insist on emotional maturity
rather than age as the qualification for obtaining a driver's license. Motorcycles do not
have seat belts.

Question 6 See full question 20s
During the assessment of a 15-year-old female the nurse notes a new body piercing in
the navel. Which statements by the nurse would be appropriate in regard to this new
piercing?
You Selected:
"I notice you have a new piercing. Be sure to clean it twice a day so you don't
get an infection."
Correct response:
"I notice you have a new piercing. Be sure to clean it twice a day so you don't
get an infection."
"Did they tell you when you got your piercing how important cleaning it is?
Infections can take up to a year to heal in a naval piercing."
, Explanation:
Informing the client about infection risks and prevention are appropriate responses by
the nurse when noticing a new body piercing. Judgmental responses and personal
responses are not appropriate from the nurse.

Question 7 See full question 46s
The nurse is counseling a 13-year-old male about recent negative behaviors at school.
Which individual is most likely the greatest influence on the teen's decision making?
You Selected:
Friends at school
Correct response:
Friends at school
Explanation:
A child at the age of 13 would be considered in early adolescence. During this period
the child would rely more heavily on the influences of peers when making decisions.

Question 8 See full question 3m 22s
The nurse is assessing a teenage client and notes his lower front teeth are slightly
crossed over. The nurse points out to his caregiver that he should see an orthodontist
about this to prevent which potential situation?
You Selected:
Even slight malocclusions make chewing and jaw function less efficient.
Correct response:
Even slight malocclusions make chewing and jaw function less efficient.
Explanation:
Dental malocclusion (improper alignment of the teeth) is a common condition that
affects the way the teeth and jaws function. Correction of the malocclusion with dental
braces improves chewing ability and appearance. Crooked teeth do not lead to more
