Feedback
1. Assessment of coughing does not relate to the amount of cigarettes consumed.
2. The length of time for smoking for a teen is not lengthy enough to cause long-term damage.
3. Identifying the source for the cigarettes is not a priority at this point.
4. Cigarettes are a gateway substance that can lead to the use of other substances and should be assessed at this time.

1. The symptoms are common with exposure to lead-based paint, and the nurse should anticipate a blood test.
