A) Clients who have reached adulthood
B) Clients in the age group of 12 to 20 years

D) Clients with strong, muscular appearance
B
Feedback:
The nurse should know that boys in the age group of 12 to 20 years, experience various chemical and physical changes taking place within their body. The nurse should know that boys who are undergoing pubertal changes are more likely to experience nocturnal emissions. In late adolescence, which lasts from 18 to 20 years, the transition into adulthood is completed. A strong, muscular appearance does not indicate the presence of nocturnal emissions.
