The clinic nurse is preparing to explain the concepts of Kohlberg's theory of moral development
with a parent. The nurse should tell the parent that which factor motivates good and bad actions
for the child at the preconventional level?

A. Peer pressure
B. Social pressure
C. Parents' behavior
D. Punishment and reward –
CORRECT ANSWER D

Rationale:
In the preconventional stage, morals are thought to be motivated by punishment and reward. If
the child is obedient and is not punished, then the child is being moral. The child sees actions as
good or bad. If the child's actions are good, the child is praised. If the child's actions are bad, the
child is punished. Options 1, 2, and 3 are not associated factors for this stage of moral
development.

The maternity nurse is providing instructions to a new mother regarding the psychosocial
development of the newborn infant. Using Erikson's psychosocial development theory, the nurse
instructs the mother to take which measure?

A. Allow the newborn infant to signal a need.
B. Anticipate all needs of the newborn infant.
C. Attend to the newborn infant immediately when crying.
D. Avoid the newborn infant during the first 10 minutes of crying. - CORRECT ANSWER A

1|Page

,Rationale:According to Erikson, the caregiver should not try to anticipate the newborn infant's
needs at all times but must allow the newborn infant to signal needs. If a newborn infant is not
allowed to signal a need, the newborn will not learn how to control the environment. Erikson
believed that a delayed or prolonged response to a newborn infant's signal would inhibit the
development of trust and lead to mistrust of others.

A nursing student is presenting a clinical conference to peers regarding Freud's psychosexual
stages of development, specifically the anal stage. The student explains to the group that which
characteristic relates to the anal stage?

A. This stage is associated with toilet training.
B. This stage is characterized by the gratification of self.
C. This stage is characterized by a tapering off of conscious biological and sexual urges.
D. This stage is associated with pleasurable and conflicting feelings about the genital organs. -
CORRECT ANSWER A

Rationale:
In general, toilet training occurs during the anal stage. According to Freud, the child gains
pleasure from the elimination of feces and from their retention. Option 2 relates to the oral stage.
Option 3 relates to the latency period. Option 4 relates to the phallic stage.

The nurse is describing Piaget's cognitive developmental theory to pediatric nursing staff. The
nurse should tell that staff that which child behavior is characteristic of the formal operations
stage?

A. The child has the ability to think abstractly.
B. The child begins to understand the environment.
C. The child is able to classify, order, and sort facts.
D. The child learns to think in terms of past, present, and future. - CORRECT ANSWER A

Rationale:

,In the formal operations stage, the child has the ability to think abstractly and logically. Option 2
identifies the sensorimotor stage. Option 3 identifies the concrete operational stage. Option 4
identifies the preoperational stage.

The mother of an 8-year-old child tells the clinic nurse that she is concerned about the child
because the child seems to be more attentive to friends than anything else. Using Erikson's
psychosocial development theory, the nurse should make which response?

A. "You need to be concerned."
B. "You need to monitor the child's behavior closely."
C. "At this age, the child is developing his own personality."
D. "You need to provide more praise to the child to stop this behavior." - CORRECT ANSWER
C

Rationale:According to Erikson, during school-age years (6 to 12 years of age), the child begins
to move toward peers and friends and away from the parents for support. The child also begins to
develop special interests that reflect his or her own developing personality instead of the parents'.
Therefore, options 1, 2, and 4 are incorrect responses.

The nurse educator is preparing to conduct a teaching session for the nursing staff regarding the
theories of growth and development and plans to discuss Kohlberg's theory of moral
development. What information should the nurse include in the session? Select all that apply

A. Individuals move through all 6 stages in a sequential fashion.
B. Moral development progresses in relationship to cognitive development.
C. A person's ability to make moral judgments develops over a period of time.
D. The theory provides a framework for understanding how individuals determine a moral code
to guide their behavior.
E. In stage 1 (punishment-obedience orientation), children are expected to reason as mature
members of society.
F. In stage 2 (instrumental-relativist orientation), the child conforms to rules to obtain rewards or
have favors returned. - CORRECT ANSWER B, C, D, F

3|Page

, Rationale:
Kohlberg's theory states that individuals move through stages of development in a sequential
fashion but that not everyone reaches stages 5 and 6 in his or her development of personal
morality. The theory provides a framework for understanding how individuals determine a moral
code to guide their behavior. It states that moral development progresses in relationship to
cognitive development and that a person's ability to make moral judgments develops over a
period of time. In stage 1, ages 2 to 3 years (punishment-obedience orientation), children cannot
reason as mature members of society. In stage 2, ages 4 to 7 years (instrumental-relativist
orientation), the child conforms to rules to obtain rewards or have favors returned.

A parent of a 3-year-old tells a clinic nurse that the child is rebelling constantly and having
temper tantrums. Using Erikson's psychosocial development theory, which instructions should
the nurse provide to the parent? Select all that apply.

A. Set limits on the child's behavior.
B. Ignore the child when this behavior occurs.
C. Allow the behavior, because this is normal at this age period.
D. Provide a simple explanation of why the behavior is unacceptable.
E. Punish the child every time the child says "no" to change the behavior. - CORRECT
ANSWER A, D

Rationale:
According to Erikson, the child focuses on gaining some basic control over self and the
environment and independence between ages 1 and 3 years. Gaining independence often means
that the child has to rebel against the parents' wishes. Saying things like "no" or "mine" and
having temper tantrums are common during this period of development. Being consistent and
setting limits on the child's behavior are necessary elements. Providing a simple explanation of
why certain behaviors are unacceptable is an appropriate action. Options 2 and 3 do not address
the child's behavior. Option 5 is likely to produce a negative response during this normal
developmental pattern.

A 4-year-old child diagnosed with leukemia is hospitalized for chemotherapy. The child is fearful
of the hospitalization. Which nursing intervention should be implemented to alleviate the child's
fears?
