B The NST has a high rate of false-positive results.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale:
1. It would not be appropriate to discuss the importance of a college education at this time, since the adolescent must deal with the loss of friends and developing new friends first.
2. The adolescent obviously is lonely with the move to the new school. The nurse should focus on appropriate coping methods that will enhance good mental health outcomes for the child.
3. The nurse should focus on appropriate coping methods that will enhance good mental health outcomes for the child, not rationalizing the situation.
4. The parentchild relationship should not be used as a substitute for the development of new peer relationships.
