Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, D
Rising numbers of STIs may be attributed to an increase in the number of sexually active tee-nagers, an increase in the opportunity to have multiple partners, a knowledge deficit about signs and symptoms of STIs, and teenagers being reluctant to report diseases.
Young people are often unable to acquire confidential health care.

Answer to Question 2

C
On finding a large residual, the nurse should return the residual to the patient, document the amount of the residual, and hold the feeding to avoid possible aspiration.
