Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, D
To achieve independence from family, instruction on interpersonal and coping skills should be provided. To promote heterosexual relationships, activities appropriate for age should be encouraged, and a good appearance and wearing of stylish clothes should be emphasized. Plans for the future should be discussed, and the adolescent will have the same sexual needs as adolescents without a chronic illness.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, E
To develop a sense of accomplishment, school attendance should be encouraged, and teachers and classmates should be educated about the child's condition. To form peer relationships, socialization should be encouraged. Sports activities should be encouraged (e.g., Special Olympics), not discouraged. Providing instructions on assertiveness is appropriate for adolescence.
