Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The nurse can categorize the client as being in the psychosocial development phase. During psychosocial development, teenagers develop peer relationships. The pressure from peers to prove their maturity can result in risk-taking behaviors, such as skydiving, car racing, drinking, and using drugs. The cognitive development phase is characterized by the development of complex problem-solving skills in adolescents. During middle and late adolescence, physical alterations, mood swings, quest for self-reliance, increased interest in the opposite sex, awareness, the acceptance of social responsibilities, and decision-making capability are observed.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Prostatic hyperplasia may cause difficulty in urination, retention of urine, incontinence, or may interfere with the ability to have an erection. Older men experience a longer refractory period between orgasm and the ability to achieve another erection.
