Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

The Eyeburg Child Behavior Inventory is a parent report scale of conduct problems in children ages 2 to 16 and would be the best choice for the nurse in this situation. The Family Psychosocial Screening is a tool that helps to identify psychosocial risk factors associated with developmental problems, such as parental history of physical abuse as a child, parental substance abuse, and maternal depression. The Ages and Stages Questionnaire is a tool that covers developmental areas of communication, gross and fine motor, and problem solving, not behavior. The Child Development Inventory is used to measure development in children between the ages of 15 months to 6 years and is not appropriate for a young teenager.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3, 4

Interventions for periodic health examinations for young adults include counseling on injury prevention, counseling on dental health and the regular use of a toothpaste containing fluoride, counseling on recommended immunizations, which include tetanus/diphtheria booster (Td) if none in the past 10 years, and information on diet and exercise. Fecal occult blood testing is not routinely done until adults reach middle age (> 50 years of age).
