A practical nurse is reviewing data collected from various pediatric clients in a community clinic. Arrange the following observed client behaviors in the chronological order they are expected to developmentally emerge, from earliest (youngest) to latest (oldest).
- 1A client looks over the edge of the examination table to find a rattle that was dropped out of sight.
- 2A client states that their stuffed dog is crying because the nurse's stethoscope is too cold.
- 3A client recognizes that 15 mL of liquid medication is the same amount whether it is poured into a wide medicine cup or a narrow oral syringe.
- 4A client discusses multiple hypothetical scenarios regarding how a new chronic illness diagnosis might affect their future career choices.
Cevap
The correct chronological sequence from earliest to latest is: the client looking for the dropped rattle (infancy), the client stating the stuffed dog is crying (early childhood/preschool), the client recognizing the liquid amount is unchanged (school-age), and finally the client discussing hypothetical future scenarios (adolescence).
Cognitive development follows a predictable chronological sequence from infancy through adolescence. Object permanence (searching for a hidden object) develops first in the sensorimotor stage. Animism (giving life to inanimate objects) follows in the preoperational stage. Conservation (understanding volume is independent of container shape) develops in the concrete operational stage. Finally, abstract and hypothetical reasoning emerges in the formal operational stage.
