Answer to Question 1

A
The teen should have the positive benefits of the bracing reinforced, in order to help with compliance. If the brace is not fitting well, the teen should be referred to a fitter, so that adjustments can be made. The teen does not want to have his or her concerns minimized. The teen is aware that the brace is there and needs to be allowed to express this frustration. The frustration the teen is expressing is not due to immaturity.

Answer to Question 2

A

Feedback
A Correct: The presence of a gun in the home increases the risk of homicide, suicide, and accidental shootings. The majority of firearms used in these incidents are stored in the home of the victim or in the home of a relative or friend.
B Incorrect: Natural barriers would preclude a children or adolescent from obtaining a firearm from a pawn shop.
C Incorrect: Natural and legal barriers would preclude a children or adolescent from obtaining a firearm from a local gun dealer or a gun and knife show.
D Incorrect: Natural and legal barriers would preclude a children or adolescent from obtaining a firearm from a sports store.
