Answer to Question 1

D
Have you thought about hurting yourself? acknowledges the adolescent's suicide gesture and further assesses the adolescent's condition. Everyone feels sad once in a while is a judgmental response that ignores the adolescent's obvious statement indicating a need for professional help. The parents should be made aware of an adolescent's precarious mental state; however, Have you told your parents how you feel? does not address the adolescent's statement.

Answer to Question 2

B
Allowing teenagers to choose between realistic options and offering consistent and structured discipline typically enhances cooperation and decreases rebelliousness. Setting stricter limits typically does not decrease rebelliousness or increase feelings of security. Increasing peer involvement does not typically increase self-esteem. Allowing teenagers to choose the method of discipline is not realistic and typically does not reduce rebelliousness.
