Answer 1

The scenario BEST demonstrates that "Karine is using effective self-management skills." By proactively consulting her doctor for preventative measures against a family-related health issue, Karine is taking control of her health and wellbeing, which is indicative of self-management. She is seeking information, likely to adhere to guidance that could involve lifestyle changes, to manage her risk factors. This action does not inherently indicate middle adolescence, positive self-talk, or seeking delayed gratification, but it does show her ability to manage her own health, which falls under self-management skills.
