The Nurse Asks, "Do Your Parents Drink Every Day?" the Adolescent

The nurse asks, "Do your parents drink every day?" The adolescent suddenly shouts, "I'm not going to talk about that! It's none of your business, anyway! Leave me alone!" The nurse recognizes that the outburst was stimulated by the fact that the adolescent is:

A) Acting out and needs to be brought under control so the conference can continue
B) Trying to shift the focus of the conference away from himself, and the nurse needs to refocus
C) Demonstrating that this problem requires the assistance of a psychiatrist
D) Responding to the discrediting of his parents, which causes anxiety in the child; thus reassurance is needed that blame will not be directed at anyone
