A father asks the nurse why his 18-year-old daughter is so idealistic and is so often involved in political or social causes
The father is especially concerned because his daughter recently turned down a family outing to an amusement park in order to attend a rally to benefit indigenous people in a third-world country. Of the following, which response by the nurse would be best? a. "When children do not have enough limits set at home, they often fall in with peer groups who engage in these activities."
b. "She has obvious talent for politics, and this may be something she will want to do as her life's fork."
c. "This is your daughter's way of being different from you and exerting independence from her family."
d. "This is a normal phase that adolescents go through. They interpret the world in an excessively idealistic perspective and often engage in causes."
