Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
The nurse should inform the mother that the statements adolescents make with their dress and grooming may not indicate what their actual values are. Mentioning piercings and tattoos will only worry the mother more. Minimizing the situation as experimentation is of no value to the mother. Telling the mother to choose her daughter's friends for her will destroy trust between mother and daughter.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Some parents worry that because their child had swelling only on one side, the child will develop mumps on the opposite side in the future. One attack of mumps gives lasting immunity, and the child will not contract the disease again. Mumps is a potentially dangerous disease and should not be minimized. The child does not need immunization against mumps.
