Ellie, a 9-year-old girl, was adopted by a family at the age of 4 after several years of severe neglect by her birth family
The adoptive family has been reporting that Ellie is angry a lot, manipulative with her teachers, and does not seek positive attention. The nurse working with Ellie will need to: 1. Provide education on decreasing stimuli in the home environment that triggers the anger. 2. Realize Ellie may have attachment issues related to her previous history and will need to encourage the family to be active in her care. 3. Support the family in the decision-making process of continuing to let Ellie live in the home. 4. Discuss inpatient therapy to decrease Ellie's manipulative behavior patterns.
As a community health nurse, you overhear a colleague say, "I don't understand why the Yang's take their young teenage daughters to the Hmong New Year celebration and have them play these match-making games

A) "The Yang's are very different from us; maybe in time we can convince them that their practices are not right." B) "Every culture has its differences; I think it is valuable that the Yang's are keeping their cultural practices alive." C) "I know what you mean, I was thinking the same thing. You wouldn't catch me doing something similar with my teens." D) "I feel sorry for those girls; they must feel funny in those cultural costumes. Let's talk to the parents and tell them how teens in America feel about such things."
