Answer to Question 1

C
Most victims feel they cannot escape the abusive environment and feel hopeless. Hopelessness and helplessness are indications of depression. Answering questions appropriately and speaking clearly and distinctly are not common behaviors for victims of abuse. Most victims of abuse do not have numerous friendships and subsequently experience social isolation.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale:
1. Adolescents with chronic acne do not have an increased risk for hepatitis B, since transmission has nothing to do with a diagnosis of acne.
2. Overuse of muscles while playing sports is not related to development of hepatitis B.
3. Adolescents with chronic asthma do not have an increased risk for hepatitis B, since transmission of hepatitis B has nothing to do with a diagnosis of asthma.
4. The adolescent who is most at risk in the scenario presented is the teen who is planning on getting a tattoo.
