Answer:4
Rationale: The school nurse must evaluate why these three friends have all lost 15 pounds in one year. The best way to begin this assessment is to obtain a nutritional history for each client.Speaking with the parents would not be appropriate at this time.Discussing anorexia nervosa is too extreme,as is referring the adolescents to a school psychologist without performing a complete nursing assessment.
