When an adolescent female's areola and nipples elevate above the level of the
breasts to form a secondary 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 - ANSWER-D) Tanner Stage IV

A 10-year-old boy complains of a sudden onset of scrotal pain when he woke up
that morning. He is also complaining of severe nausea and vomiting. During the
