Question 2 of 5
Which aspect of cognition develops during adolescence?

Question 3 of 5
A 14-year-old boy seems to be always eating, although his weight is appropriate for his height. What is the best explanation for this?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. At the age of 14, boys typically experience a growth spurt and increase in body mass due to puberty. This increased growth and development require more energy, leading to increased appetite. As the boy's weight is appropriate for his height, his eating habits are likely normal for his stage of development. Explanation for other choices: B: This is premature as the boy's weight is appropriate and does not suggest future obesity. C: Without knowing the specifics of his caloric intake, it is not accurate to assume it is excessive. D: Incomplete option.
Question 4 of 5
A young adolescent boy tells the nurse he “feels gawky.†How should the nurse explain why this occurs in adolescents?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because during adolescence, growth of the extremities and neck typically precedes growth in other areas due to the rapid bone growth that occurs during puberty. This can result in a period of awkwardness or feeling gawky as the body adjusts to these rapid changes. Incorrect choices: B: Growth in the trunk and chest - While trunk and chest growth do occur during adolescence, it is not the primary reason for feeling gawky. C: Hip and chest breadth increases - While this is true, it does not fully explain why adolescents may feel gawky. D: Growth spurt occurs earlier in boys - This is not directly related to the feeling of gawkiness and does not explain the specific growth patterns in adolescents.
