The eating disorders clinic sees a number of overweight adolescent girls. In addition to monitoring these adolescents for the health problems related to obesity, the nurse will monitor the girls for which mental health problem?
 
  1. Substance abuse
  2. School phobia
  3. Spiritual distress
  4. Negative self-esteem

Question 2

A parent reports that her 5-year-old child, who has had all recommended immunizations, had a mild fever one week ago and now has bright red cheeks and a lacy red maculopapular rash on the trunk and arms.
 
  The nurse recognizes that this child might have: 1. Chickenpox (varicella).
   2. German measles (rubella).
   3. Roseola (exanthem subitum).
   4. Fifth disease (erythema infectiosum).

Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale 1: This is not the major mental health issue associated with obesity.
Rationale 2: While the girls may dislike attending school, this is not the mental health problem the nurse should be evaluating.
Rationale 3: Adolescents may have issues related to spirituality, but this is not associated with obesity.
Rationale 4: Self-esteem is tied closely to body image, a common source of distress among obese adolescents. Therefore, the nurse will monitor the girls for issues with self-esteem.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale:
1. Varicella (chickenpox) and rubella (German measles) are unlikely if the child has had all recommended immunizations.
2. The rash of rubella is a pink, maculopapular rash that begins on the face and progresses downward to the trunk and extremities.
3. Roseola typically occurs in infants, and begins abruptly, with a high fever followed by a pale pink rash starting on the trunk and spreading to the face, neck, and extremities.
4. Fifth disease manifests first with a flulike illness, followed by a red slapped-cheek sign. Then a lacy maculopapular erythematous rash spreads symmetrically from the trunk to the extremities, sparing the soles and palms.
