A school nurse is planning safety education for a group of adolescents. The nurse should give priority to which of the following topics as the leading cause of death for this age group?

The correct answer is Choice D because, "State health departments report selected STIs to the National Institutes of Health." This is the correct answer because state health departments are responsible for reporting selected STIs to the National Institutes of Health, which is an important regulation regarding STIs.

Choice A is wrong because, "Clients who have STIs are legally required to provide a list of sexual partners," is

not the correct answer because while clients who have STIs are strongly encouraged to provide a list of sexual partners for partner notification and treatment purposes, there is no legal requirement for them to do so.

Choice B is wrong because, "Congress mandates the requirements for STI reporting," is not the correct answer because STI reporting requirements are set by public health agencies, not by Congress.

Choice C is wrong because, "Nurses should withhold the name of the client who has an STI during partner notification," is not the correct answer because while nurses are required to maintain confidentiality of their clients, they are also obligated to report certain communicable diseases, including STIs, to public health authorities, who may need to conduct partner notification and treatment efforts.

The correct answer is Choice A because, "Describe the place where you are currently living." Asking the client to describe their living situation will provide the case manager with information about the client's home environment and help identify any potential barriers to safe care. This information can then be used to develop a safe and effective discharge plan, which may include arranging for a special bed at home.

Choice B is wrong because, "Apply moisture barrier ointment three times a day," is not the correct answer because it focuses on a specific aspect of the client's care, rather than considering the broader context of their living situation. Choice C is wrong because, "Eat a balanced diet with high-protein snacks," is not the correct answer as it also focuses on the client's care, rather than their living situation. Choice D is wrong because, "A social worker can help you with the cost of supplies," is not the correct answer as it may not be the most pressing concern at the time of discharge planning.
