Two months later, the teen returns with no noticeable improvement. The acne is now causing the teen extreme distress because of the impact on her appearance. The physician prescribes Accutane. The teen is 16 years old.

How will this affect the patient education the teen will need? a. Accutane has a strong odor, so the teen may not comply with treatment
b. Accutane has few side effects, so little education is needed
c. Accutane will harm a developing fetus, so contraception will be needed if the teen is sexually active

Answer to Question 1

C
Accutane does not have a strong odor. Accutane has many significant side effects, so careful monitoring and education is required. Accutane is very teratogenic, and patients must not become pregnant while taking this drug. Female patients can take this drug, but they must use contraception if they are of child-bearing age and are sexually active.

Answer to Question 2

B

Feedback
A Incorrect: Poverty rates in two-parent families are much lower than those in families headed by a single parent. The potential exists for both parents to work which would increase household income.
B Correct: Almost half of all poor children live in single-parent (usually women) households. The risk of poverty is high for the following reasons: low wages for women, low educational attainment for single mothers, and low rates and levels of child support from fathers.
C Incorrect: When a child is adopted, there usually is adequate income to raise the individual at a decent living standard.
D Incorrect: Foster parents are typically compensated and/or receive public benefits by state or federal programs. Poverty is not an issue in these families
