Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Adult children from dysfunctional families often carry these roles and coping mechanisms into adult life, with many becoming substance abusers or partners of substance abusers. The children of alcoholics are four to nine times more likely to experience alcohol use disorders than are children of nonalcoholics.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Although the nurse might want to include information on abstinence and birth control, it is important to convey the reality of teenage pregnancy. Adolescent fathers can confront a lifetime of paying child support. Teen mothers are less likely to complete high school and are more likely to be single parents and live in poverty.
