Maintain the parents' role by providing explanations for treatment and procedures to the parents only. d. Give information privately to adolescents about how they can manage the specific problems that they identify.

Feedback A Teenagers are socially and cognitively at the developmental stage where the health care provider can teach them. B Teenagers are more interested in immediate health care needs than in long-term needs. C Teenagers are at the developmental level that allows them to receive explanations about health care directly from the nurse. D Problems that teenagers identify and are interested in are typically the problems that they are the most willing to address. Confidentiality is important to adolescents. Adolescents prefer to confer privately (without parents) with the nurse and health care provider. |
