Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1,2,3
Rationale: Puberty, adrenarche, and menarche are all changes that occur during the school age and adolescence that have a direct impact on the endocrine system. Sexual exploration and risk-taking behaviors do not have a direct impact on the endocrine system.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: Adrenal hyperplasia alters the regulatory mechanisms, creating a fluid volume deficit. There is no major nutritional deficit, social interaction, or depression related directly to the diagnosis of adrenal hyperplasia.
