Question

A 14-year-old boy is in the clinic for his well-child exam. When the client asks his mother if she has any questions for the practitioner, she states "He sleeps so much. I am worried about how lazy he is." What does the nurse know to be true about sleep in adolescents?

Answer 1

Answer:

Trying to balance too many activities can result in sleep deprivation

Explanation:

Adolescence is a life stage in which it is necessary to be very organized with time.  

Due to all the hormonal changes that a person is going through it is just normal to experience difficulties to sleep, not only because of the body changes but also because of the daily activities, social, academic life  and peer pressure.
