Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Teenagers have a need for increased calories, zinc, calcium, and iron for growth. However, the number of calories needed for adolescence depends on the teen's age and activity level as well as growth patterns. Teenage girls who are active require about 2,200 calories per day. Teenage boys who are active require between 2,500 and 3,000 calories per day. Adolescents require about 1,200 to 1,500 mg of calcium each day.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Review with the parents that if nasal antihistamine sprays are given for more than 3 days, a rebound effect can occur. The nasal mucosa becomes more edematous rather than less edematous, and symptoms will appear to worsen rather than improve. The rebound phenomenon does not cause a permanent increase in nasal secretions, reflux of gastric contents into the esophagus, or a decrease in histamine release after an initial increase.
