A father reports that his adolescent daughter has gotten good grades up until the last quarter of school. She has been hanging out by herself and does not want to talk to him anymore. The mental health nurse should:
 
  1. Realize that this is a natural part of growing up.
   2. Perform a mental health screening to check for depression.
   3. Attempt to get the adolescent to discuss why she does not like her father anymore.
   4. Let the adolescent talk when she is ready.

   3. Veracity.
