Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: Providing an adolescent with positive role models who are in his peer group is the intervention most likely to improve compliance. Interest in games may begin to wane, adults' opinions may be viewed negatively and challenged, and threatening punishment may further incite rebellion.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1,3,4,2
Rationale: Sensorimotor (birth to 2 years), preoperational (2 to 7 years), concrete operational (7 to 11 years), formal operational (11 years to adulthood).
