Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: In humanistic philosophy, healing and caring are approached holistically. The philosophy accounts for well-being within the limitations of life in today's world. Humanism purports that service to benefit humanity is accomplished through reason, science, and democracy. Patients are not passive recipients of care but, rather, have the potential to solve their own problems. Patients need to be supported and empowered to develop new perspectives and make self-directed choices.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1
Explanation: In the conventional stage, the individual focuses on doing his or her duty to keep the social order, which the patient would prefer her son to do. Adaptation and assimilation are concepts of Piaget's cognitive theory, not Kohlberg's stages of moral development. The pre-conventional stage is characterized by avoidance of punishment.
