Answer to Question 1

C
The nurse can be proactive by using the interview process and open-ended questions.
The question Have you told your parents that you are sexually active? does not obtain the most information.
The question Are any of your friends participating in sexual behaviours? does not address the individual and does not obtain the most information about the health behaviours of the client.
The question Have you been protecting yourself with safe sex measures? may be answered with a yes or no response and therefore does not obtain the most information.

Answer to Question 2

C
The adolescent experience appears to adversely affect self-esteem, more so for girls than for boys. For girls, adolescence brings menarche, its associated symptoms, the development of breasts, and a gain in body fat. As a result, adolescent girls may appear more sensitive to their appearance and how others view them.
The sudden visible physical changes would probably have more of an impact on body image than the first menstrual period.
Growing 10 cm over the summer may affect the client's body image but will have less impact than the substantial increase in breast size.
Experiencing hair growth on legs and underarms may affect the client's body image but will have less impact than the substantial increase in breast size.
