Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: According to statistics from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (2000), almost 4 million of the new cases of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) each year occur in adolescents.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: The 2003 Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance reported that most deaths in the age group from 10 to 24 years were caused by motor vehicle crashes, unintentional injuries (falls, drowning, poisoning), homicides, and suicides. Risky behaviors contributed to these statistics, but since suicide is one of the four major causes of death in this age group and depression or depressed behavior often leads to this end, it would be good if students understood what to look for in their peers.
Rationale 2: Injury prevention should be the focus in the school-age child.
Rationale 3: Cancer and heart disease are not prevalent problems among high school age students.
Rationale 4: Normal physiological changes would not address health problems of this age group, but rather give general information.
