Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: A developmental approach to assessing adolescents is to respect their privacy and conduct the assessment in private. There are several ways to approach this and there will be times when having privacy with the adolescent will not be possible; however, the ideal is to assess the adolescent alone. Referring the psychosocial assessment is not an option as there may be issues that require immediate attention. Asking the parent to wait in another room may be a means of providing privacy for the adolescent.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: Death from overdose is a priority concern of opioid use. Seizures are not associated with opioid use. Signs of withdrawal will present with influenzalike symptoms that progressively get worse. Opioid use is not linked to long-term vision problems.
