The nurse at the local high school is aware that students are particularly vulnerable during this developmental stage to many health challenges. What is an appropriate priority topic to support student self-development?
1. Educate about sexually transmitted diseases.
2. Provide strategies to minimize stress and promote self-esteem.
3. Hold in-service programs for teachers to identify students at risk.
4. Collaborate with the local mental health agency to refer students at risk.
Answer: 2
Explanation: 2. All of the topics presented are appropriate to this age level. A priority topic, however, is how to minimize stress and promote self-esteem. High school is a developmental time where students undergo many challenges to their identity and have the pressures of academic achievement and other societal pressures and expectations placed upon them. These challenges can lead to ineffective management and coping. Providing strategies to minimize stress and promote self-esteem can help to educate students about stress management and coping.
