When physically assessing adolescents, it is most important to:
  1. Be upbeat and familiar with this age group.
  2. Be assertive to battle any resistance to questioning.
  3. Relax this age group with casual conversation.
  4. Respect their privacy and tendency to be shy.
Explanation
Answer: D - Always take special care in physical assessment of adolescents and make sure to respect their privacy and shy tendencies. Pediatrics in this age group are very self-conscience about their bodies and physical assessment can be intrusive to them. Never try to be overly assertive with patients, even when you believe they are being untruthful.
