Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale 1: Early and middle adolescents conform to group standards by wearing the same types of clothing that friends wear.
Rationale 2: Late adolescence (1819) is when the ability to think about the future develops, including understanding the impact that a baby will have on acquiring education.
Rationale 3: Middle adolescence (1517) is a time of experimentation, including drinking alcohol, using other drugs, and smoking.
Rationale 4: From early adolescence on, friends have an increasingly important role in the search for independence, which includes friends' replacing parents as the primary source of support.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale 1: A firm fundus is desirable, and considered normal.
Rationale 2: Six hours after birth, the fundus at the umbilicus would not be a concern.
Rationale 3: Lochia rubra would be considered normal.
Rationale 4: The steady trickle of blood could indicate a laceration in the birth canal, and should be reported to the M.D. for follow-up.
