Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: A 17-year-old normally has supple hair, so the important thing for the nurse to assess is use of chemicals and hair dyes that can cause dry, brittle hair. Inadequate water and protein intake are unlikely to create these abnormalities in an adolescent. Brushing the hair stimulates blood flow to the scalp, and is more likely to increase oil production.

Answer to Question 2

1,2,3,4,5
Rationale: A schedule I drug has a high potential for abuse and no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States.
