Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Unintentional injuries, most commonly those involving motor vehicles, are the leading cause of death among adolescents. This is the area in which the nurse should focus during the discussion with the high school students. Water, home, and firearm safety are not identified as leading causes of death in adolescents.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
An injury to the upper brachial plexus, or Erb's palsy, is manifested by adduction, pronation, and internal rotation of the affected extremity, absent shoulder movement, absent Moro reflex and positive grasp reflex. An absent grasp reflex and hand weakness is noted with a lower brachial plexus injury. Facial asymmetry is associated with a cranial nerve injury.
