Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
The greatest risk to a child of adolescent parents is derived from the parents' strong potential to lack good parenting skills. This inability can result in both physical and emotional harm. In-creased family stressors resulting in domestic violence and statically high potential for physical and emotional abuse often result from poor parenting and coping skills. The parents' inability to provide health care and economic support is more likely in an adolescent-headed family resulting from limited marketable skills.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
Assess for caregiver stress, such as tension in relationships with family and care recipient, chang-es in level of health, changes in mood, and anxiety and depression. Asking the caregiver about hobbies or other means of relaxation is a nonthreatening way to assess tension levels. Offering to help find assistance infers a need for help that may insult the caregiver. Assuming the caregiver is stressed or assuming the living situation is good may cause the caregiver to be reluctant to discuss existing problems.
