, Answers and Rationale
1. Answer: 4
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.
Test-Taking Strategy: Eliminate options 1 and 2; they are comparable or alike because peer
pressure is the same as social pressure. Focus on the subject, the factor that motivates good
and bad actions, to select from the remaining options.

and children. (11th ed.). St. Louis: Elsevier. p. 465; Varcarolis, E., & Fosbre, C. (2021).

care. (4th ed.). St. Louis: Saunders. p. 26.
2. Answer: 1
Rationale: According to Erikson, the caregiver should not try to anticipate the newborn infant’s
needs at all times but needs to 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.
Test-Taking Strategy: Focus on the subject, psychosocial development of the newborn infant.
Eliminate options 2 and 4 because of the closed-ended words all and avoid these options. Use
knowledge about Erikson’s theory to select correctly from the remaining options.

3. Answer: 1
Rationale: According to Jean Piaget’s theory of cognitive development, it is normal for the infant
or toddler not to recognize that objects continue to be in existence if out of the visual field;
however, this is abnormal for the 6-year-old. If a 6-year-old child does not recognize that objects
still exist even when outside the visual field, the child is not progressing normally through the
developmental stages. The nurse would report this finding to the pediatrician so that both
medical and psychosocial follow-up can be initiated. Options 2, 3, and 4 delay necessary
follow-up and treatment.
