Answer to Question 1

A, B, E, F
Feedback:
Influencing factors related to the prevalence of adolescent injuries include increased physical growth, insufficient psychomotor coordination for the task, abundance of energy, impulsivity, peer pressure, and inexperience. Impulsivity, inexperience, and peer pressure may place the teen in a vulnerable situation between knowing what is right and wanting to impress peers. On the other hand, teens have a feeling of invulnerability, which may contribute to negative outcomes.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Children with allergic rhinitis may report full frontal headaches that become even more marked with adolescence. Pain related to sinus edema and headache would be the most appropriate diagnosis to guide care for this patient. Allergic rhinitis does not increase the risk for fluid volume deficit. Nosebleeds are not associated with allergic rhinitis. Allergic rhinitis is not severe and should not cause disturbed self-esteem.
