Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale 1: When establishing youth programs, whether with individual adolescents or with groups, the nurse includes evaluation of the effectiveness of the plan and methods to expand and sustain successful approaches.
Rationale 2: Instruction on healthy behaviors would be included in the implementation phase of the plan.
Rationale 3: Advising why promoting healthy behaviors is important is part of the implementation phase of the plan.
Rationale 4: Including the adolescent's attitude toward health has little to do with evaluating the success of the plan.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale:
1. Teaching acceptable feeding techniques is not the most effective intervention to decrease post-neonatal mortality.
2. Sudden infant death syndrome accounts for nearly 28 of deaths to infants in the post-neonatal period (between 1 and 12 months of age). Positioning babies on their backs to sleep has significantly reduced the incidence of sudden infant death syndrome.
3. Baby-proofing homes will not decrease post-neonatal mortality.
4. Providing support for first-time mothers will not decrease post-neonatal mortality.
