Answer to Question 1

A
When teaching adolescents, the nurse should show respect, boost confidence, encourage the exploration of feelings, be sensitive to peer pressure, help identify positive qualities, use appropriate clear language, gear teaching to the developmental level, and engage in problem-solving activities to encourage independence and informed decision making.

Answer to Question 2

D
Silence gives a patient time to reflect. The nurse should sit quietly and observe the patient's behavior. Appropriate eye contact should be used. The nurse should also control his/her own discomfort during quiet periods or lulls in the conversation.
