Question 2
Sixteen-year-old Candace is being seen for a long overdue checkup. Her caregiver has come with her. Candace is calm, pleasant, and in good spirits.
The caregiver reports to the nurse that she is relieved, because for the past 6 months, Candace has been lethargic, angry, and sad. The mother reports that since she got her driver's license 2 days earlier, her child's mood has changed dramatically, and rather than resist this appointment, she had simply smiled and said, It won't matter much, but okay, I'll be ready in a minute. The nurse recognizes the child's seeming well-being and drastic change in behavior should be further investigated to determine if the child:
A) is planning to commit suicide.
B) has been smoking marijuana.
C) is experimenting with alcohol.
D) is excited that she can drive now.
