Answer to Question 1

C
Adolescents generally lack knowledge of infant behaviors and how to respond to them and may be reluctant to admit their ignorance. They may have inadequate coping skills to manage the transition to parenthood and parenting responsibilities. Nurses can help the adolescent learn appropriate behaviors and offer them resources in the community for parenting assistance.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
A transvaginal ultrasound would be used to evaluate endometrial thickness to determine if an endometrial biopsy is needed. CA-124 testing is a nonspecific blood test used as a tumor marker. A Pap smear is used to screen for cervical cancer. Mammography is used to screen for breast cancer.
