Answer to Question 1

A
The most therapeutic nursing intervention is the one that provides the information that adolescence is a time when sexual identity and sexual behavior vary.

Answer to Question 2

B
Dependency is the need for others to care for the patient. Clinicians have observed that many patients with somatization disorders display dependency. Having physical symptoms allows a patient to meet dependency needs in a socially acceptable way.
