Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Adolescents are very present oriented, and they learn procedures and new information best if they can see how it will immediately benefit them. They learn poorly if the only benefit of new information presented to them is something that will affect them at some future date. Adolescents do not like to be reminded to pay attention. They have a strong need to be exactly like their friends, which means adolescents rarely continue any action that makes them different or conspicuous in front of their peers.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Explaining that the child's stomach holds less than 1 ounce gives the mother a reason for frequent, small feedings and is the most helpful and accurate anticipatory guidance. Telling that the step reflex persists until the child walks and informing that fontanels will close by 6 months are inaccurate. The step reflex disappears at about 2 months and fontanels close between 12 and 18 months. Neonatal teeth are highly unusual and need no explanation unless they occur.
