Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: Before responding to the adolescent, the nurse must be aware of how he/she reacts to others when they are angry. At this point the adolescent is projecting anger and is not aggressive; therefore, it is not necessary to notify the rapid response team. It would not be appropriate for the nurse to ask another peer to intervene. Encouraging the adolescent to reflect is an appropriate interaction to attempt after the adolescent has cooled down and is ready to process the event.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: Gender role stereotyping occurs when there are behavioral expectations related to gender. Androgyny is flexibility in gender roles. Intersex describes the condition in which there are contradictions in biologic characteristics of gender. Gender identity disorder occurs when a person has discomfort with the assigned gender.
