Answer to Question 1

2, 3, 4
Rationale:
1. Sleeping more than the body requires is an avoidance behavior.
2. Exercising contributes to physical restoration.
3. Fostering social relationships contributes to social and mental rest and restoration.
4. Developing a hobby contributes to physical, spiritual, social, and mental rest and restoration.
5. Moving away is an avoidance behavior that does not address exhaustion from overwhelming caregiving responsibilities.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale:
1. A wide array of health concerns should be included in the assessment of adolescent. Based on a thorough assessment, you will establish nursing diagnoses that are appropriate for the adolescent and family. One possible nursing diagnosis might be Rape-Trauma Syndrome related to date rape for the teen who has recently begun dating and now is withdrawn.
2. There is no inclusion of nutrition information in this scenario.
3. Withdrawal is not an indication of high self-esteem and good friendships.
4. There is no indication of sleep pattern in this scenario.
