1.The nurse teaches parents of adolescents that adolescents need the support of
parents and nurses to facilitate healthy lifestyles. What should be a priority focus of
this guidance?
A)Reducing risk-taking behavior
B)Promoting adequate physical growth
C)Maximizing learning potential
D)Teaching personal hygiene routines
Ans:A
Feedback:
The adolescent experiences drastic changes in the physical, cognitive, psychosocial,
and psychosexual areas. With this rapid growth during adolescence, the development
of secondary sexual characteristics, and interest in the opposite sex, the adolescent
needs the support and guidance of parents and nurses to facilitate healthy lifestyles
and to reduce risk-taking behaviors. Promoting physical growth, maximizing learning
potential, and teaching hygiene are secondary to reducing risky behavior.

4.The school nurse is performing health assessments on students in middle school. Of
what developmental milestone should the nurse be aware?
A)Height in girls increases rapidly after menarche and usually ceases
immediately after menarche.
B)Boys’ growth spurts usually begin between the ages of 8 and 14 years and

C)Peak height velocity (PHV) occurs at approximately 12 years of age in girls
or about 6 to 12 months after menarche.
D)Boys reach PHV and peak weight velocity (PWV) at about 16 years of age.
Ans:C
Feedback:
PHV occurs at approximately 12 years of age in girls or about 6 to 12 months after
menarche. Height in girls increases rapidly after menarche and usually ceases 2 to
21/2 years after menarche. Boys’ growth spurt occurs later than girls’ and usually
begins between the ages of 101/2 and 16 years and ends sometime between the ages
of 131/2 and 171/2 years. Boys reach PHV at about 14 years of age. PWV occurs about
6 months after menarche in girls and at about 14 years of age in boys.

6.When describing the various changes that occur in organ systems during
adolescence, what would the nurse include?
A)Significant increase in brain size
B)Ossification completed later in girls
C)Decrease in heart rate
D)Decrease in activity of sebaceous glands
Ans:C
Feedback:
During adolescence, the heart rate decreases while the systolic blood pressure
increases. Brain growth continues, but the size of the brain does not increase
significantly. Ossification is more advanced in girls and occurs at an earlier age.
Sebaceous gland activity increases during adolescence.

on the soccer team. What is a physical quality that develops during these early
adolescent years?
A)Coordination
B)Endurance
C)Speed
D)Accuracy
Ans:B
Feedback:
It is usually during early adolescence that teenagers begin to develop endurance.
Their concentration has increased so they can follow complicated instructions.
Coordination can be a problem because of the uneven growth spurts. During middle
adolescence, speed and accuracy increase while coordination also improves.

8.Based on Erikson’s developmental theory, what is the major developmental task of
the adolescent?
A)Gaining independence
B)Finding an identity
C)Coordinating information
D)Mastering motor skills
Ans:B
Feedback:
According to Erikson, it is during adolescence that teenagers achieve a sense of
identity. The toddler developed a sense of trust in infancy and is ready to give up
dependence and to assert his or her sense of control and autonomy. The psychosocial
task of the preschool years is establishing a sense of initiative versus guilt by
mastering skills. In the school-age years, the child develops concrete operations and
is able to assimilate and coordinate information about the world from different
dimensions.

attainment of pleasure.
B)Adolescents develop their own set of morals and values and question the
status quo.
C)Adolescents undergo the process of developing their own set of morals at
different rates.
D)Adolescents are more interested in the spiritualism of their religion than in
the actual practices of their religion.
E)Adolescents can understand the concepts of right and wrong and are
developing a conscience.
F)Adolescents are able to understand and incorporate into their behavior the
concept of the “golden rule.”
Ans:B, C, D
Feedback:
It is during the adolescent years that teenagers develop their own set of values and
morals at different rates. At the beginning of this stage, teenagers begin to question
the status quo. The majority of their choices are based on emotions while they are
questioning societal standards. Adolescents also begin to question their formal
religious practices. As they progress through adolescence, teenagers become more
interested in the spiritualism of their religion than in the actual practices of their
religion. The toddler will base his or her actions on the avoidance of punishment and
the attainment of pleasure. The preschool child can understand the concepts of right
and wrong and is developing a conscience. The school-age child is able to understand
and incorporate into his behavior the concept of the “golden rule.”

A)Talk face to face and be aware of body language.
B)Ask questions to see why he or she feels that way.
C)Do not give praise unless the adolescent deserves it.
D)Speak to your child as an authority figure, not an equal.
E)Don’t admit that you make mistakes.
F)Don’t pretend you know all the answers.
Ans:A, B, F
Feedback:
In order to improve communication with teenagers, the parents should talk face to
face and be aware of body language, ask questions to see why the teenager feels that
way, not pretend they know all the answers, give praise and approval to the teenager
often, speak to him or her as an equal (not talk down to him or her), and admit that
they do make mistakes.

11.The nurse is teaching the parents of a 12-year-old boy about appropriate
approaches when raising an adolescent. Which comment should be included in the
discussion?
A)“Find out if his friends are worthy of him.”
B)“Try to be open to his views.”
C)“Maintain a firm set of rules.”
D)“Remind him that he is still your little boy.”
Ans:B
Feedback:
It is most important to be open to the child’s views. This will encourage the child to
consider parental concerns and promote communication. Being judgmental about his
friends will make the child defensive about his choice of friends. Rules need to be
flexible so they can apply to new situations. Avoid condescension. The child will
appreciate being treated like a young man.

12.The mother of a 14-year-old girl reports to the nurse that her daughter is moody,
shuts herself in her room, and fights with her younger sister. Which comment is most
valuable to the mother?
A)“Calmly talk to her about your concerns.”
B)“This is normal for her age.”
C)“She may be hanging with a bad crowd.”
D)“Set some rules for family etiquette.”
Ans:A
Feedback:
Getting the mother and daughter talking and sharing information is the most valuable
advice. Telling the mother that this is normal does nothing for the family situation.
Setting rules will alienate the child. Suggesting an underlying problem can cause a rift
between the mother and daughter.

13.The adolescent continues to develop self-concept and self-esteem. What is most
important to a teen’s self-esteem?
A)Strong authority figures
B)Spirituality
C)Morals and values
D)Body image
Ans:D
Feedback:
Self-concept and self-esteem are tied to body image many times. Adolescents who
perceive their body as being different than peers or as less than ideal may view
themselves negatively. Sexual characteristics are important to the adolescent’s
self-concept and body image. Authority figures, spirituality, and morals and values
play a role in development of self-esteem, but body image is most influential in the
development of self-concept/self-esteem.

C)An African-American male
D)A Jewish male
Ans:C
Feedback:
It is important for the nurse to recognize the ethnic background of each adolescent.
Research has shown that certain ethnic groups are at higher risk for certain diseases.
For example, adolescent African Americans are at higher risk for developing
hypertension.

achievement of the tasks of adolescence exist. What is the major barrier to health for
this population?
A)Cultural
B)Socioeconomic
C)Marital status
D)Racial
Ans:B
Feedback:
The major barrier to the adolescent’s health and successful achievement of the tasks
of adolescence is socioeconomic status. Adolescents at a lower socioeconomic level
are at higher risk for developing healthcare problems and risk-taking behaviors; this
may be due to their inability to access health care and to obtain needed services. In
caring for adolescents, the nurse should also recognize the influence of their culture,
ethnicity, and race upon them.

B)Poisoning
C)Diseases
D)Unintentional injuries
Ans:D
Feedback:
Unintentional injuries are the leading cause of death in adolescents (Curtin, Heron,
Miniño, & Warner, 2018). Motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of injury
death followed by poisoning, primarily due to drug overdose from opioids (Curtin et
al., 2018). Males are more likely than females to die of any type of injury (Curtin et
al., 2018).

17.When assessing adolescents for health risks, the nurse must keep in mind the
factors related to the prevalence of adolescent injuries. What accurately describes
these factors? Select all that apply.
A)Increased physical growth
B)Insufficient psychomotor coordination
C)Tiredness, lack of energy
D)Lack of impulsivity
E)Peer pressure
F)Inexperience
Ans:A, B, E, F
Feedback:
Influencing factors related to the prevalence of adolescent injuries include increased
physical growth, insufficient psychomotor coordination for the task, abundance of
energy, impulsivity, peer pressure, and inexperience. Impulsivity, inexperience, and
peer pressure may place the teen in a vulnerable situation between knowing what is
right and wanting to impress peers. On the other hand, teens have a feeling of
invulnerability, which may contribute to negative outcomes.

18.The nurse is helping the parents and their underweight adolescent collaborate on
planning a healthy menu. Of which nutritional requirement of adolescents should the
nurse be aware?
A)Teenagers have a need for increased calories, zinc, calcium, and iron for
growth.
B)Teenage girls who are active require about 1,800 calories per day.
C)Teenage boys who are active require between 2,000 and 2,500 calories per
day.
D)Adolescents require about 1,000 to 1,200 mg of calcium each day.
Ans:A
Feedback:
Teenagers have a need for increased calories, zinc, calcium, and iron for growth.
However, the number of calories needed for adolescence depends on the teen’s age
and activity level as well as growth patterns. Teenage girls who are moderately active
require about 2,000 calories per day. Teenage boys who are moderately active
require between 2,200 and 2,800 calories per day. Adolescents require about 1,300
mg of calcium each day.

19.The nurse is promoting nutrition to a 13-year-old boy who is overweight. Which
comment should the nurse expect to include in the discussion?
A)“You need to go on a low-fat diet.”
B)“Eat what your parents eat.”
C)“Go out for a sport at school.”
D)“Keep a food diary.”
Ans:D
Feedback:
Having the boy keep a detailed food diary for 1 week will determine current patterns
of eating. This can then be used to show him how to make small changes with results,
especially if eating is done before periods of inactivity such as before going to bed or
when he is bored. Speaking and thinking in terms of diet are negative and can lead to
poor body image. If the parents have poor eating habits, telling the child to eat what
his parents eat could be bad advice. The child could too easily choose the wrong sport
or do poorly. It is best to offer solutions with more variety.

21.During a health maintenance visit, a 15-year-old girl mentions that she is not
happy with being overweight. Which approach is best for the nurse to take?
A)“Good observation. Let’s talk about diet and exercise.”
B)“Don’t worry; you are within the weight and height guidelines.”
C)“What specifically have you been noticing?”
D)“Tell me about your parents. Are they overweight?”
Ans:C
Feedback:
It is best to find out what caused the teenager to make the comment so that you can
work with her about the issue. This is an assessment and must be done first.
Launching into a lecture on diet and exercise will be of no value if the teenager wants
to talk about dealing with snide comments from her peers. Telling the teenager she is
statistically in the normal range for weight and height may close the conversation
prematurely. The focus is on the teenager, not her parents. Obtaining that
information would be important, but not at this time.

22.The school nurse knows that dating is a milestone for adolescents. Which
statement accurately describes a trend in teen dating?
A)Most late adolescents spend more time in activities with mixed-sex groups,
such as dances and parties, than they do dating as a couple.
B)Most teens have been involved in at least one romantic relationship by late
adolescence.
C)Teens that date frequently report slightly lower levels of self-esteem and
decreased autonomy.
D)Homosexual behavior as a teen usually indicates that the adolescent will
maintain a homosexual orientation.
Ans:B
Feedback:
By age 18, 70% of adolescents report being in at least one romantic relationship in
the past 18 months. Most early adolescents spend more time in activities with
mixed-sex groups, such as dances and parties, than they do dating as a couple.
Teens who date frequently report slightly higher levels of self-esteem and increased
autonomy. Homosexual behavior as a teen does not necessarily indicate that the
adolescent will maintain a homosexual orientation.

23.During a health check-up without his parents, a 17-year-old tells the nurse he is
gay. Which approach should the nurse take?
A)“Tell me what makes you think you are gay.”
B)“This puts you in an at-risk category.”
C)“We need to talk about safe sex.”
D)“You’re not gay; you’re confused.”
Ans:A
Feedback:
The nurse needs to get more information from the teenager (assessment) before
making any comment and then proceed in a sensitive and caring way. Comments
about being at risk or needing to know about safe sex are negative and should be
replaced with health promotion comments. Denying the statement shows the
teenager that you are not an ally.

Which factor will affect the child’s attitude most?
A)Her parents’ values and desires
B)The dramatic changes to her body
C)Peer group behaviors and attitudes
D)Desire for attention from boys
Ans:C
Feedback:
In this age group, children have a strong desire to conform to their peer group and to
be accepted. It is important to know the peer group’s attitude about school and
learning. Early adolescence marks the beginning of separation from the family,
including its values and desires. Physiologic changes and sexual attraction would not
have significant or lasting influence in this matter.

25.The school nurse is preparing a program on sexuality and birth control for a class
of 14 to 16 year olds. Which behavior will have the most influence on how the
information is presented?
A)Teens are adjusting to new body images.
B)Adolescents tend to take risks.
C)Teenagers are able to think in the abstract.
D)Adolescents understand that actions have consequences.
Ans:B
Feedback:
Adolescents are risk takers. This tendency enables them to overcome common sense
and their own better judgment. Although adolescents are capable of abstract thinking
and understand that actions have consequences, they are not yet committed to these
attributes. Changing body image would not have significant influence on the
presentation.

behaviors demonstrated will the nurse identify as middle formal operational,
according to Piaget’s theory? Select all that apply.
A)Reporting that he smokes marijuana occasionally.
B)Wanting to make decisions about health care independently
C)Being very concerned with implications of the Affordable Care Act regarding
healthcare benefits
D)Wanting their friends to visit them in the hospital more than their parents
E)Difficulty understanding the implications their diagnosis might present
Ans:A, B, C
Feedback:
During the middle years (age 14 to 17), Piaget recognizes that the adolescent has
increased ability to think abstractly or in more idealistic terms, thinks he or she is
invincible (leading to risky behaviors), and becomes involved/concerned with society
and politics. In the early stages of formal operational reasoning, the adolescent’s
thinking is egocentric and lacks abstract thinking, as noted in the client being more
concerned with peers than parents, and the adolescent does not understand the
implications of his or her diagnosis.
