Based on current evidence, the nurse who plans smoking cessation interventions for adolescent girls should focus on interventions directed toward
a. Obeying parents and reducing television viewing.
b. Fostering generativity over self-absorption.
c. Role overload, addiction counseling, and depression.
d. Weight management, self-esteem, and stress management.
ANS: D
Current research indicates that smoking cessation efforts should include stress management and improvement of self-esteem and body image. Weight concerns, especially in females, promote continued smoking. Obeying parents and reducing television viewing are not effective smoking cessation strategies. The developmental task of generativity versus self-absorption occurs in adulthood. Role overload is not a usual contributor to smoking in adolescents, although it could be; addiction counseling is not a smoking cessation intervention; depression is associated with decreased self-esteem but is not a primary smoking cessation target for adolescent girls in general.
