Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: The parents, rather than the adolescent, are more likely to recall the age at which each developmental milestone occurred. It is expected that an adolescent can provide information regarding academic achievements, dietary food preferences, and allergies. The nurse can ask the parents about what they think is the adolescent's perception of the reason for seeking care, but the client is the only one who can address the actual perception.

Answer to Question 2

1,2
Rationale: Initial client treatment goals have been accomplished. Planned goals have been achieved.
