An inpatient treatment facility has a 15-year-old patient receiving a Dopamine agonist for withdrawal of:
 
  1. Heroin.
   2. Cocaine.
   3. Xanax.
   4. Nicotine.

Question 2

Albert, a new nursing student, is given documentation to sign prior to his clinical experiences. The first document discusses confidentiality. An example of the need to keep confidentiality for a pediatric patient would be:
 
  1. A 15-year-old girl asking for birth control without parental consent.
   2. A 16 year-old boy discussing drug use with the nurse.
   3. A 12 year-old girl discussing peer pressure issues with the nurse.
   4. All of the above should be kept confidential.
