Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale:
1. Adolescents have poorer eating habits than all other age groups, adolescents with diabetes may not adhere to necessary dietary restrictions.
2. Adolescents will attempt to hide their health conditions from their classmates.
3. Adolescents might experience social stigma when their classmates find out about a health condition.
4. Adolescents might recognize differences between themselves and others, such as appearance, abilities, and social skills, for the first time.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale 1: Throat cultures should never be done when a diagnosis of epiglottis is suspected. Manipulation of the throat can stimulate the gag reflex in an already inflamed airway and can cause complete occlusion of the airway.
Rationale 2: Medical history should be obtained, which assists in diagnosis.
Rationale 3: Vital signs should always be taken when assessment is done.
Rationale 4: Assessment of breath sounds is essential for diagnosis.
