Answer to Question 1

Answer:1,2
Rationale: A general presentation should focus on normal expected behaviors for health promotion such as limiting refined-sugar intake and including dairy in the diet.Discussing eating disorders and diabetes mellitus is not appropriate for health-promotion activities.Decreasi ng calcium would not be a recommendation for teenagers.

Answer to Question 2

Answer:2
Rationale: The adolescent is obviously lonely with the move to the new school. The nurse should focus on appropriate coping skills,which will enhance good mental-health outcomes for the child.It would not be appropriate to discuss the importance of a college education at this time,since the adolescent must deal with the loss of friends and developing new friends first. The parent/child relationship should not be used as a substitute for the development of new peer relationships.
