Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
When working with teens the establishment of trust and rapport are of the highest priority. Establishing trust can best be done by demonstrating consistency and keeping promises made to the teen. Control of the daily schedule may not be feasible. The teen can be allowed to have an impact on some elements of the plan of care but this does not have a greater importance than the establishment of trust. The teen may be able to attend care conferences but this is not of the highest priority.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Teaching is an important function of the nurse. When providing education, it is important to offer the information in an environment that is conducive to learning. A circular set of chairs will allow the nurse to face the parents during the exchange. A large class that has the nurse standing and the parents sitting does not provide the ability for a personal interaction needed for this session. Giving the parents information in writing should be done in conjunction with a face to face teaching session. Video information may be beneficial but does not replace the face-to-face teaching session.
