Answer to Question 1

C
Emotional abuse involves rejection, criticism, terrorizing, and isolation. The result is low self- esteem, in which the adolescent doubts her abilities. The adolescent in this case is not in denial, or demonstrating behaviors that would alert the nurse to a violent nature. Noncompliance is not an issue in this case.

Answer to Question 2

C, D
Older adults often are taking numerous medications prescribed by several specialists, and sight and memory can cause errors in taking medications. Depression is not a common cause of overdose, and metabolism is usually slower in this age group.
