ANS: A
Risk taking is a part of adolescence, but the teen needs healthy risk-taking activities. The nurse can encourage the teen to take part in a program that offers risk-taking under adult supervision. Rock climbing, hiking, and rafting are all healthy alternatives. Simply reassuring the parents that teens take risks does not give them information that helps the teen. Showing the teen statistics and explaining that he is worrying his parents are both unlikely to have much effect.
