Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The development of sexual orientation as a part of sexual identity includes several developmental milestones during late childhood and throughout adolescence. The sequence and time spent in phases are different for each individual. Boys and girls pass through the same developmental milestones.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The nurse needs to be open and nonjudgmental in interactions with adolescents. This will provide a safe environment in which to provide appropriate health care. Adolescence is when sexual identity develops. The nurse's own beliefs should not bias the interaction with this student. Homosexual adolescents face very different challenges as they grow up because of society's response to homosexuality.
