Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Lyme disease is an infection caused by a tick bite. To prevent the occurrence of tick bites while camping, the nurse should instruct the children to wear long pants tucked into the socks while walking in the woods. The risk of rabies is great if approaching strange animals. Poison ivy or poison oak can be contracted from touching unidentified bush. Water-based illnesses can be contracted from drinking contaminated water.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The nurse needs to get more information from the teenager (assessment) before making any comment and then proceed in a sensitive and caring way. Comments about being at risk or needing to know about safe sex are negative and should be replaced with health promotion comments. Denying the statement shows the teenager that you are not an ally.
