Answer to Question 1

2
Adolescent mental health also includes the concept of well-being: social competence, posi-tive interactions with others, coping with stress and troubled times, and becoming involved in activities and relationships with others.

Answer to Question 2

C
Staying with a distraught patient who is hearing voices serves several purposes: ongoing observation, providing reality orientation, forestalling responses to the hallucinations that could result in injury, and general support to reduce anxiety. Asking for more information about the patient's experience allows for assessment of (and later intervention for) potential safety issues such as command hallucinations or paranoid themes. Asking about the frequency of the hallucinations is not particularly relevant at this point and does not address potential safety issues. Patients may have ways of coping with voices, but this patient's presentation suggests that his/her coping skills have been overwhelmed. Ignoring the voices and distracting oneself are not likely to be sufficient when the hallucinations are intrusive, disruptive, or frightening, as appears to be the case here.
