Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The 2020 National Health Goals for sexual health focus on the prevention and early treatment of sexually transmitted infections. This is the topic in which the nurse should focus during the presentation with adolescent students. The 2020 National Health Goals for sexual health do not address communication with primary care physicians, immunizations, or creating a worklife balance.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The postoperative evaluation after surgery to correct undescended testes should address the boy's feelings about the surgery and the changes in his body. He may need an opportunity to express his fears about mutilation or castration by playing with puppets or dolls after surgery. This surgery is not associated with fluid balance. The child will not have an altered physical appearance after the surgery. The child's fear is more than a knowledge deficit about the surgical procedure.
