The adolescent continues to develop self-concept and self-esteem. What is most important to a teen's self-esteem?

A. Maximizing learning potential: While education is important during adolescence, the priority focus of guidance regarding healthy lifestyles typically centers around behaviors that directly

impact physical and emotional well-being.

B. Reducing risk-taking behavior: Adolescents are prone to engaging in risky behaviors such as substance use, unsafe sexual practices, and reckless driving. Guidance should emphasize

strategies to reduce these behaviors and promote safer choices.

C. Promoting adequate physical growth: Physical growth is largely determined by genetics and occurs earlier in life. While maintaining overall health, including physical activity and nutrition, is important during adolescence, it is not typically the primary focus of guidance regarding

healthy lifestyles at this stage.

D. Teaching personal hygiene routines: Personal hygiene is important for overall health, but it is just one aspect of a healthy lifestyle. While adolescents should be encouraged to practice good hygiene habits, guidance should encompass a broader range of behaviors that contribute to overall well-being, including mental health and risk reduction.

A. Absorption of drugs administered by subcutaneous injection is increaseD. Subcutaneous absorption can vary based on factors such as blood flow and tissue characteristics, but it is generally slower and more variable compared to intramuscular absorption.

B. Absorption of intramuscularly administered drugs is fairly constant: Intramuscular absorption tends to be more consistent compared to subcutaneous absorption. However, absorption rates can still be affected by factors such as muscle mass and blood flow.

C. Topical drugs are absorbed more quickly in young children than adults: Topical drug absorption can be influenced by factors such as skin thickness and permeability, but absorption rates may not necessarily be faster in young children compared to adults.

D. Oral drugs are absorbed more quickly in children than adults: This statement is generally incorrect. While gastrointestinal transit time may be faster in children, other factors such as

gastric pH and enzymatic activity can affect oral drug absorption, and absorption rates may not always be faster in children compared to adults.
