Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Increased adolescent risk-taking behaviors include: poor academic performance, poor parental role models, low self-esteem, lack of a supportive social environment, and poverty.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B
Sleeping 7 to 8 hours daily and eating breakfast have been shown to decrease morbidity and mortality. Eating between meals is discouraged and regular exercise, not vigorous exercise, is encouraged. Maintaining full-time employment is not related to a change in morbidity or mortal-ity rates.
