Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: The adolescent could have an eating disorder, which may result from altered body image. Being sexually active with her boyfriend does not necessarily indicate an altered body image. Irregular menses do not necessarily indicate an altered body image. Arguments with parents do not necessarily indicate an altered body image.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: Offering the child a choice fosters cooperation and compliance. Playing with the child is a preschool child activity. Teaching the child the action and expected side effects of the medication is too advanced for the school-age child. Threatening a school-age child will antagonize him; he will most likely not take the medication.
