The nurse is working in an adolescent medical clinic. When comparing adolescents in the clinic with chronic conditions to their peers, the nurse would expect chronically ill adolescents to have

3. An altered body image.
4. A decreased concern about their appearance.

As adolescents develop a sense of identity, they are focused on themselves and the present. They have a heightened concern about their appearance but may have inaccurate assessments of their body image and low self-esteem when comparing their bodies with those of their peers.
