Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adolescents may feel uncomfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings in front of their parents. Therefore, providing separate time to communicate with both the adolescent and the parents is appropriate to get a clear assessment of the adolescent's relationships. This enables the nurse to gather information independently from each party as well as creating a comfortable and safe environment for the adolescent to share information.
