    A nurse is providing care to an adolescent client who is hospitalized in an adult setting. Which of the following interventions by the nurse supports a client experiencing emotional and physical changes of puberty? (Select all that apply.)

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Providing privacy during personal care and procedures is essential for adolescents, as it helps them feel more secure and respected during a vulnerable time. B. This option is incorrect; discussing changes related to puberty can help the adolescent understand their body and promote healthy coping mechanisms. C. Treating the adolescent as if they are not competent undermines their autonomy and can negatively impact their self-esteem; adolescents should be involved in their care and decision-making when appropriate. D. Disregarding confidentiality can lead to a breakdown of trust; it is important to respect the adolescent's privacy while also keeping parents informed within appropriate limits. E. Showing respect for the client's feelings and concerns helps validate their experiences and fosters a supportive environment during a challenging time. F. Listening carefully to the client’s thoughts and concerns encourages open communication, allowing the nurse to address any worries and support the adolescent’s emotional needs.
