Question 2 of 5
A nurse is planning care for an adolescent who is withdrawn and avoids social group activities. Which of the following interventions should the nurse plan to include?
Correct Answer: C

This approach promotes self-awareness and personal growth, leading to improved social interactions over time.
Incorrect answers:
A: Encouraging the adolescent to spend more time alone may reinforce isolation and hinder social development.
B: Assigning the adolescent as a leader in a group project may increase anxiety and pressure, worsening the withdrawal behavior.
D: Advising the adolescent to focus solely on academic achievements ignores the emotional aspect of social withdrawal and may lead to further feelings of inadequacy.

B: Incorrect - This choice indicates a lack of conservation as the child believes the amount changes based on the container's shape.
