Answer to Question 1

4. Wanting the approval of others

Rationale:
Kohlberg believes that school-age through adult moral development begins with wanting the approval of others in stage 1 of conventional level. Fear of punishment is characteristic of the toddler through age 7. Feeling of justice and belief in due process are experienced in post-conventional development, at stage 5.

Answer to Question 2

1. Client's spouse

Rationale:
Effective discharge planning necessitates health team conferences and family conferences and gives the client, family, and health care professionals the opportunity to plan care and set goals. Involving the client's spouse would be important in this situation because of the complexity of the client's situation. The physician, pharmacist, and social worker may also be included, but by their own decision, not necessarily by the nurse's invitation, as is the case with coordination.
