Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The nurse should convince the client that families can help adolescents to overcome peer pressure by modeling safe habits and practices. The nurse should advise him to promote a safe home environment where his son can receive appropriate responses for his actions and assistance with finding alternative and satisfying recreation and relationships. The nurse should ask the client to give his son information about the hazards of risk taking and to reinforce appropriate practices positively.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The inguinal canal is a common site for herniation in men because it is a weak spot susceptible to hernia. The prostate gland may enlarge with age, but it is not a site for herniation. Herniation also does not occur in the Cowper's glands or the scrotum.
