What Should the Nurse Do?

How should the nurse care for a teenage patient with a higher weight who is being teased at school for their weight?
2 .
Your patient is a mother of two children, who also works as the vice president at an investment firm. While in the hospital, your patient is cheerful and spent hours relaxing, reading books, and watching television. The patient commented that it was nice not to feel pressured to do things that they ought to be doing at home or work. When you inform the patient that they can go home, they become disheartened. What do you think is going on, and how will you address the patient’s change in disposition?
3 .
How will you use information about developmental changes to help you understand how to care for a teenager who has a poor self-concept and has started smoking cigarettes?
