Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The endocrine system consists of various glands, tissues, or clusters of cells that produce and release hormones. Hormones are chemical messengers that stimulate and/or regulate the actions of other tissues, organs, or endocrine glands that have specific receptors to a hormone. Along with the nervous system, the endocrine milieu influences all physiologic effects such as growth and development, metabolic processes related to fluid and electrolyte balance and energy production, sexual maturation and reproduction, and the body's response to stress. The release patterns of the hormones vary, but the level in the body is maintained within specified limits to preserve health.

Answer to Question 2

C, D, E
Feedback:
Adolescents are undergoing rapid physical, emotional, and cognitive growth. Working toward a separate identity from parents and the demands of diabetic care can hinder this. This struggle for independence can lead to nonadherence of the diabetic care regimen. Conflicts develop with self-management, body image, and peer group acceptance. Teens may acquire the skills to perform tasks related to diabetic care but may lack decision-making skills needed to adjust treatment plan. Teens do not always foresee the consequences of their activities. Self-monitoring of blood glucose levels and feelings of being different are issues common to school-age children.
