A middle school nurse is working with a 12-year-old female student who has experienced early onset of puberty accompanied by increasing interest in sexual attractiveness.
 
  The nurse bases her work with this student on the knowledge that developmentally: a. the student is cognitively and socially unprepared for the risks associated with sexual activity
  b. transmission of sexually transmitted disorders (STDs) is physiologically enhanced at the time of puberty
  c. maturation of social skills precedes the physical changes of puberty
  d. early adolescents are less impulsive and more wary of peer pressure than are older teens

Engaging in sexual activity may have a variety of consequences for the adolescent, including poor performance at school.
