A mother asks why the whole family needs to meet with the therapist since it is her teen-age stepdaughter who has the substance abuse problem. The nurse replies with the knowledge that:
 
  1. Mothers usually cause the problems in their children
  2. The family will probably use behavior modification with the teen
  3. The parents are responsible for changing the teen's behavior
  4. Sometimes the identified client is acting out family dynamics

  1. Set rigid limits on peer contacts between ages 10 and 19.
  2. Limit exposure to violence on TV, video and computer games, and the Internet.
  3. Allow teens access to limited amounts of recreational drugs under supervision.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
Option 1 is incorrect since parents do not cause their children's problems. Option 2 is incorrect since behavior modification is not typically a treatment for teen substance abuse. Option 3 is in-correct because the teen is responsible for her own behavior.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
Studies suggest that the experiences mentioned in option 2 increase aggressiveness in children and adolescents. The other options are not related to primary prevention.
