While teaching the parent of school-age children about self-esteem, the nurse instructs the parents to:
 
  1. Build on the child's strengths and talents.
 
  2. Not point out the child's ability.
 
  3. Limit the amount of compliments given to the child.
 
  4. Establish the goals they want the child to achieve at certain time.

Question 2

The nurse is assessing a 15-year-old female. The girl's menses began when she was 12 years old. The girl's body mass index (BMI) is 27.5 and her height is 5 feet, 2 inches. She weighs 160 pounds. Her school performance has been spotty.
 
  The priority client teaching would be related to: 1. Menstrual cycle.
  2. Nutritional intake.
  3. School performance.
  4. Adolescent mini mental health status examination.

Answer to Question 1

1

Rationale:
1. Parents play an important part in fostering the child's self-esteem. Building on the child's strengths and talents and always pointing out the child's abilities increase the child's self-esteem.
2. In trying to build self-esteem in a child, it is important to talk about the child's abilities.
3. Complimenting a child's strengths is important to increase self-esteem.
4. Setting goals for the child to reach at a certain time could lead to disappointment if they are not reached on time. This will result in a drop in self-esteem.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale 1: The menstrual cycle appears to have started at a normal time, and so it is not the priority.
Rationale 2: The BMI for this client is too high, placing the adolescent at risk for cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus in later life. Therefore, nutritional intake is the most important topic to focus on with this client at this time.
Rationale 3: School performance is not as high a priority as the BMI.
Rationale 4: The mental health screening exam is not as high a priority as the BMI.
