The male home health nurse parked his marked car in preparation for visiting the next client when a young female walked over to the car and asked him if he would like to have some fun
Which of the following provides the best explanation for this behavior?
a.
The girl was skipping school and wanted money for entertainment.
b.
The male nurse was extremely young and attractive and looked like he had money.
c.
The girl may have hoped a nurse would give her enough money to eat.
d.
Young girls often engage in thrilling, if high-risk, behaviors.
ANS: C
Homeless youth experience sexually-transmitted diseases, physical and sexual abuse, skin disorders, anemia, drug and alcohol abuse, and unintentional injuries at higher rates than in the general population. Depression, suicidal ideation, and disorders of behavior, personality, or thought also occur at higher rates among homeless. Family disruption, school failures, prostitution or "survival sex," and involvement with the legal system indicate that homeless social health is severely compromised. Thus, it is most likely that the girl is hoping that the nurse would provide her enough money to eat.
