Answer to Question 1

B
.
Feedback
A Incorrect. Parenti loci is not the same as parens patrie.
B Correct. Parens patrie provides the state with an overriding interest in the health and welfare of a child. Parens patrie is a legal rule that allows the state to make decisions in place of parents when they are unable or unwilling to provide for the best interests of the child.
C Incorrect. In lieu parental is not the same as parens patrie.
D Incorrect. Bon parentus is not the same as parens patrie.

Answer to Question 2

D
The child may not wish to discuss this subject with their parents. Telling children not to think about it or to wait until the class meets will likely encourage them to turn to their peers, who are often just as uninformed. The nurse should listen and then provide appropriate counseling.
