Answer to Question 1

B
The appropriate moral development for a 17-year-old adolescent would include evidence that the teenager has internalized a value system and does not depend on parents to determine right and wrong behaviors. Cognitive development is related to moral development, but it is not the pivotal point in determining right and wrong behaviors. Identity formation is the psychosocial development task. Energy is focused within the adolescent, who exhibits behavior that is self-absorbed and egocentric. Although a task during adolescence is the development of a sexual identity, the teenager's dependence on the parent's sanctioning of right or wrong behavior is more appropriately related to moral development.

Answer to Question 2

D
Problems that teenagers identify and are interested in are typically the problems that they are the most willing to address. Confidentiality is important to adolescents. Adolescents prefer to confer privately (without parents) with the nurse and healthcare provider. Teenagers are socially and cognitively at the developmental stage where the healthcare provider can teach them and can receive explanations about healthcare directly from the nurse. Teenagers are more interested in immediate healthcare needs than in long-term needs.
