Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Diet and nutrition are especially important for facilitating optimal growth and development during adolescence. Adequate nutritional intake is essential to accommodate the growth spurt that occurs during this time. Adolescents gain approximately 25 of their adult height and 50 of their adult weight throughout this time period.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C, D, E
A family assessment includes family size and structure; parenting style; and religious, cultural, and socioeconomic orientation. Dietary habits are not specifically assessed, although this information may be part of a cultural assessment.
