Answer to Question 1

B
Nurses must assess their own and their clients' cultural views to provide mental health care in a culturally diverse society. This is especially necessary when the nurse must make efforts to reconcile differing cultural perspectives when developing effective interventions. Such activities will become more critical as nurses operate in an increasingly diverse society.

Answer to Question 2

C
Older adolescents are particularly distressed when their interactions with their peer group are disrupted. For the adolescent, the peer group serves as the major form of a support system.
