Answer to Question 1

D
Teenage fathers also have stressors placed on them when their partner becomes pregnant. These young men have poorer support systems and fewer resources to teach them how to parent. As a result, both of these adolescent parents often struggle with the normal tasks of development and identity, but are also forced to accept a responsibility that they are not ready for physically, emotionally, socially, and/or financially. Adolescent pregnancy is an ever-increasing concern. The majority of these adolescents continue to live with their families. A teenage pregnancy tends to have long-term consequences for the mother and often severely stresses family relationships and resources. In addition, there is an increased risk for continued poverty for the family.

Answer to Question 2

A
When beginning a patient assignment, always conduct a focused but complete assessment of the patient's condition and ask what outcomes the patient expects in his or her care. A patient health history is usually taken upon admission. Medication administration and documentation will occur after an assessment.
