Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, E
Feedback:
Nurses can help the nation achieve the 2020 National Health Goals for adolescent healthy habits by educating adolescents about the use of cigarettes, smokeless tobacco, alcohol, and substance abuse, and reducing the number of adolescents who are obese. College preparation programs will not necessarily help adolescents achieve healthy habits.

A
Feedback:
Parents of a newborn with suspected retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) should schedule follow-up vision screenings with a pediatric ophthalmologist every 2 to 3 weeks, depending on the severity of the findings at the initial examination.
