Answer 4 for NRS 420 Illustrate the nurse’s role and specific actions that the nurse can take in addressing this area of concern in adolescents

I believe that some of them struggle in school because they lack the right kind of assistance. They are ostracized and misunderstood for the most part (Balakrishman, 2022). Isolation and rejection can have a negative impact on their mental health and lower their motivation to perform well in class. When offered the right and necessary support, the majority of them excel in both sports and professional jobs.

The Support options listed below can be helpful:

Counseling Services: Make arrangements for the adolescent to receive therapy and counseling from on-site or community-based mental health professionals.
Educational Resources: Provide mental health information to the teenager and their family through booklets, websites, and reputable online sources.
Encourage teens and their families to get involved in local support groups so they may share their stories and coping techniques.
School-Based Programs: Implement workshops, peer support initiatives, and mental health awareness campaigns in collaboration with school staff (Anvik & Waldahl, 2018)

Teenager mental health disorders require a multimodal approach that involves the teenager and their support system. Nurses who use assessment techniques, establish a therapeutic relationship, follow legal and ethical guidelines, and provide a range of support options can significantly improve the well-being of young people coping with these contemporary challenges.
