Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
It is imperative that the school nurse recognize the association between feelings of inadequacy (e.g., low self-esteem, anger, anxiety, and depression) and unhealthy eating practices in adolescents and young people. These self-perceptions begin early in life; therefore education and counseling must begin in elementary school. This program would be offered too early for kindergarten students and too late for grades 7 through 12. Thus, the priority population would be the elementary school children.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Detoxification is best described as a short-term treatment intervention designed to manage acute withdrawal from the substance. It involves medical management to reduce the adverse side effects of the substance and help stabilize the client. Addressing acute withdrawal symptoms is of utmost importance in detoxification.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
