Answer 1

A nurse is participating in a discussion about prepubescence and preadolescence with a group of guardians of school-age children, the following information the nurse include in the discussion is C. Growth differences between boys and girls become evident

Step-by-step explanation:

During the discussion about prepubescence and preadolescence with the group of guardians of school-age children, the nurse should include the information that growth differences between boys and girls become evident during this period. Puberty is the period during which humans become sexually mature, and it is characterized by various physical changes.

Girls generally start puberty between the ages of 9 and 10, while boys usually begin between the ages of 11 and 12. These physical changes include the development of primary and secondary sexual characteristics, such as the growth of breasts in girls and the development of pubic hair in both girls and boys. Therefore the correct answer is C. Growth differences between boys and girls become evident
