Answer to Question 1

D
The development of secondary sex characteristics and changes in body fat distribution has a tre-mendous impact on the self-concept of an adolescent. Female adolescents struggle more with body image issues than do their male counterparts. Body image depends only partly on the reality of the body. When physical changes occur, individuals may or may not incorporate these changes into their body image. For example, people who have experienced significant weight loss do not perceive themselves as thin and may still tell you there is still a fat person inside. Body image issues are often associated with negative self-concept and self-esteem.

Answer to Question 2

D
Purposeful reflection leads to a deeper understanding of issues and the development of judgment and skill. One activity that will help a nurse develop into a critical thinker is reflective journaling. A concept map is a visual representation of meaningful relationships between concepts (e.g., pa-tient problems or nursing diagnoses and interventions), which then form propositions. The pri-mary purpose of a concept map is to synthesize relevant data about a patient such as assessment data, nursing diagnoses, health needs, nursing interventions, and evaluation measures. The nurs-ing process is a systematic process that incorporates diagnostic reasoning and clinical decision making through five steps: assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. Professional standards for critical thinking refer to ethical criteria for nursing judgments (e.g., advocacy, patient autonomy, and beneficence), evidence-based criteria used for assessment and evaluation, and criteria for professional responsibility.
