When the depressed adolescent tells the school nurse, I can't seem to get a handle on my life. I can't see the point of living, the nurse's most therapeutic response would be:
 
  a. Hey Cheer up You are young and have a lot to live for..
  b. Wow Surely as young as you are nothing can seem that bad..
  c. I think I better call your mother..
  d. What in particular don't you have a handle on?

Question 2

To teach their teen the value of money and its responsibility, the nurse suggests that parents:
 
  a. Provide the teen with an allowance or a bank account
  b. Balance the teen's checkbook for him or her
  c. Hand out money as requested
  d. Maintain the amount of allowance

Answer to Question 1

D
The nurse should help the troubled teenager externalize his feelings.

Answer to Question 2

A
A teen should have an allowance. This will allow the teen to learn how to use money in a responsible way. If parents hand out money as asked, the child will not learn how to save or plan ahead. A teen should have the responsibility of balancing his or her own checkbook. Maintaining the amount of the allowance may not meet the needs of the maturing adolescent.
