Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
To prevent the adolescent and parents from thinking that the patient caused the tumor, the nurse should explain that trauma did not cause the process. A football injury merely called attention to the leg where a malignant process was at work. Osteosarcoma is not caused by a dislike of milk. There is no expectation of skin color changes when receiving chemotherapy for osteosarcoma.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
An outcome that would support feelings of powerlessness would be the patient attends recommended appointments. Reducing extracurricular activities, reducing the number of work hours, and spending time with elderly grandparents and other family members do not support feelings of powerlessness.
