  The population health nurse is working with a runaway adolescent who has been living in a local shelter. The nurse and the adolescent have explored the possibility of the adolescent returning home, and the adolescent is amenable. The most appropriate nursing intervention is to:
  1. Contact the family and arrange for a time when the adolescent can return.
  2. Work with the shelter to improve conditions for adolescent residents.
  3. Work with the community to improve programs that address adolescent concerns.
  4. Arrange for counseling for the adolescent and family before and after the adolescent returns.

Answer: 4
Explanation: 4. When an adolescent runs away, it is important to ascertain the reasons for running away. Interventions are then directed to modifying factors that led to the adolescent running away. Counseling can be arranged for the adolescent and family to explore and help ameliorate the factors contributing to the adolescent running away. Contacting the family and arranging for the return does not address what caused the adolescent to run away in the first place. Working with the shelter to improve conditions for adolescent residents and working with the community to improve programs are appropriate prevention interventions but are not the most appropriate in this situation.
