Answer to Question 1

Answer:2
Rationale:Physical and psychosocial clinical assessment is the major focus of the nurse practitioner (NP) who provides care in many different clinical settings. Leadership might be a quality of the NP,but it is not the major focus.NPs cannot provide independent care of the high-risk chronic child but must work under a physician's supervision. The NP cannot do tertiary prevention as a major focus.

Answer to Question 2

Answer:3
Rationale: Assent requires the ability to generally understand what procedure and treatments are planned,to understand what participation is required,and to make a statement of agreement or disagreement with the plan.Usually,in Piaget's stage of formal operations,11- to 13-year-olds should be able to problem solve using abstract concepts and are able to give valid assent when parents sign the informed consent. An emancipated minor is a self-supporting adolescent who is not subject to the control of a parent or guardian. A mature minor is a 14- or15-year-old whom the state law designates as being able to understand medical risks and who is thus permitted to give informed consent for treatment.
