Q
  1. When an adolescent male’s penis grows more in length than width, in which of the
    following Tanner stages is he classified?
    A) Tanner stage II
    B) Tanner stage III
    C) Tanner stage IV
    D) Tanner stage V
A

B) Tanner stage III In Tanner stage III in males, the testicular volume increases, the scrotum enlarges, and the penis begins to lengthen.

Tanner stages are:
Tanner I: Prepubertal small penis.
Tanner II: The penis length remains unchanged.
Tanner III: Penis begins to lengthen.
Tanner IV: Penis increases in length and circumference.
Tanner V: Scrotum and penis are mature size.

Q
  1. A 14-year-old female adolescent is worried that she has not started to menstruate like most of her friends. During the gynecological examination, the
    nurse practitioner tells the mother, who is in the room with the patient, that her daughter is starting Tanner stage II. What are the physical exam findings during this stage?
    A) Breast buds and some straight pubic hair
    B) Fully developed breasts and curly pubic hair
    C) Breast tissue with the areola on a separate mound with curly pubic hair
    D) No breast tissue and no pubic hair
A

A) Breast buds and some straight pubic hair Tanner stage II in females is noted for breast and papilla elevated as a small mound and increased areola diameter (breast buds). Tanner II pubic hair for females is sparse, lightly pigmented straight hair
along the medial border of the labia.

25
Q
  1. An adolescent female’s areola, nipples, and breast tissue develop and become
    elevated as one mound. Which of the following is the correct Tanner stage for this
    phase of breast development?
    A) Tanner stage I
    B) Tanner stage II
    C) Tanner stage III
    D) Tanner stage IV
A

C) Tanner stage III During Tanner stage III, the breast and areola and nipples grow together in one mound. There is no separation yet.

At Tanner stage IV, the areola and the nipple separate to form a distinct mound. The most important clue is
“secondary mound.”

26
Q
636. According to Erik Erikson, adolescents are at what psychosocial developmental
stage?
A) Autonomy versus shame
B) Industry versus inferiority
C) Identity versus role confusion
D) Intimacy versus isolation
1227
A

C) Identity versus role confusion Adolescents (aged 12–18 years) are in the stage known as identity versus role confusion. At this time, the teen is transitioning
into adulthood and reexamining his or her identity and beliefs. The teen wonders about himself or herself (e.g., “who am I?”). Peers are highly valued.
