Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1,2,4
Rationale: The nurse must maintain the nurseclient relationship, which is between the nurse and the adolescent, and the nurse must maintain confidentiality. Therefore, the nurse cannot ask any personal questions while the mother is in the room, such as those related to sexual activity, drug and alcohol use, and smoking cigarettes. The nurse can ask general questions about seatbelt use and academic performance without breaching confidentiality.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1,2,3
Rationale: In order to assess the child and family, the nurse would plan to discuss the child's developmental status, observe interactions among the family members, and discuss any concerns with the parents. Administering age appropriate vaccinations and recording height and weight are appropriate interventions, but are not included during the family assessment process.
