Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Tertiary-level interventions assist the patient in readapting to life with an illness. By adjusting the diet to meet dietary guidelines and also addressing adolescent maturational needs, the nurse will help the teen to eat an appropriate diet without health complications and see herself as a typical and normal teenager. Teaching about the food pyramid will not address the real issue, which is that the teen is still eating what she knows will make her ill and the food pyramid is usually a primary intervention. Administering antidiarrheal medications may help but is not a tertiary-level or maturational intervention. Admonishing the teen and parents is not a tertiary-level intervention, and because this approach is nontherapeutic, it may cause communication problems.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Denial consists of avoiding emotional conflicts by refusing to consciously acknowledge anything that causes intolerable emotional pain. Dissociation involves creating subjective numbness and less awareness of surroundings. Conversion involves repressing anxiety and manifesting it into nonorganic symptoms. Compensation occurs when an individual makes up for a deficit by strongly emphasizing another feature.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
