Answer to Question 1

2
Explanation:
1. Parenting classes for teens who are neither pregnant nor parents do not address reducing teen pregnancy.
2. Confidential, low-cost contraceptive education and services are most likely to increase contraceptive use by teens who are sexually active and therefore decrease teen pregnancy rates.
3. Parents are the biggest influence on teens' decisions to begin or avoid sexual activity. Parents should be encouraged to talk openly and frankly with their teens about their views on sex, contraception, and abstinence.
4. Abstinence first with information on contraception is most effective in reducing teen pregnancy rates.

Answer to Question 2

2
Explanation:
1. A social worker might be able to provide assistance with financial program eligibility, support groups, or obtaining baby items such as furniture and car seats.
2. The most important goal for the nurse caring for a pregnant adolescent is to be open minded and nonjudgmental in order to foster trust between the adolescent and the nurse. Through a trusting relationship, the nurse can provide counseling and education to the mother-to-be, both about her body and the fetus. Developing a trusting relationship with the pregnant adolescent is essential. Honesty, respect, and a caring attitude promote self-esteem.
3. Although nutrition is an important physiologic need, without a trusting relationship, little teaching will occur because the teen will often tune out adults that she does not trust.
4. Prenatal classes specifically designed for teen mothers and attended by only teen mothers facilitate both learning and support for the teens.
