Answer to Question 1

C
Tanner sexual-maturing ratings are based on the development of stages of primary and secondary sexual characteristics. They are not based on chronological age. The age at which an adolescent enters puberty is variable. The puberty stage in girls begins with breast development. The puberty stage in boys begins with genital enlargement. Primary sexual characteristics are not the basis of Tanner staging.

Answer to Question 2

B
Any indication of increased intracranial pressure should be promptly reported to the physician. Stabilizing the child's neck does not address the child's symptoms. Darkening the room and putting a cool cloth on the child's forehead may facilitate the child's comfort. It would not be the nurse's first action. The child's episode of vomiting does not necessitate a fluid restriction.
