Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The girl should be interviewed alone. The parents can wait outside and fill out the family health history questionnaires.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The community is assessed when the nurse asks whether a person is part of a religious or spiritual community or congregation. The other areas assessed are faith, influence, and addressing any religious or spiritual issues or concerns.
