Discussing the body changes with a peer indicates that the adolescent client is accepting and coping with the changes associated with SLE. Refusing to attend school or social functions may indicate avoidance or denial of the changes, and discussing the changes only with healthcare personnel may indicate a lack of confidence or discomfort in discussing the changes with peers.
