1. Describe the contemporary issue and explain the external stressors associated with this issue.
2. Identify specific questions or assessment tools you would use to screen for this issue.
3. Outline strategies you, the nurse, would use to establish a therapeutic relationship with the teenager.
4. Define the legal and ethical parameters regarding what you can and cannot share with the parent or guardian, referencing relevant laws, policies, and professional guidelines.
5. Identify two specific support options you will provide for your patient and/or their family to access. Justify how these identified options will support your patient and/or their family.

You are required to cite a minimum of three peer-reviewed sources to complete this assignment. Sources must be published within the past 5 years, appropriate for the assignment criteria, and relevant to nursing practice.
