Rationale:
1. Whatever the setting, the nurse partners with the adolescent, the parents, and other persons such as teachers or school counselors to plan appropriate goals and related intervention. Apply communication skills effective with teens, such as listening to concerns, allowing for discussion, and bringing peers who have had experiences related to the topic being discussed.

3. Personal opinions will not carry much weight with a group of adolescents.
4. Discussing sex education from a religious viewpoint is not appropriate.
Answer to Question 2
3
Rationale 1: Training all members to participate in the care of the child might be inappropriate based each member's age, abilities, and developmental stage.
Rationale 2: It is impractical to expect a home health nurse to visit more than once a day. The nurse should determine if family members can be trained to provide the needed care.
Rationale 3: Not all members of the family will be able or willing to provide care. One parent, both parents, or members of the extended family may be the best option for home care.
Rationale 4: The size of the child's room has no bearing on the child's care as given by the family members.
