Answer to Question 1

B
The formal operations stage of Piaget's developmental theory in the cognitive dimension (12 years to adulthood) deals with engaging in abstract reasoning and problem solving and developing a workable philosophy of life.

Answer to Question 2

C
Guidelines used by nurses for safe administration of medications include administering only medications that have been personally prepared (i.e., not medications prepared by another nurse); listening to questions a client may raise about a medication (e.g., This pill is a different color,) and rechecking the order and the dosage prepared; indicating on the client's medication administration record (MAR) and medical record the reason for not administering any medication; seeing that the client actually takes the medication; not leaving any medications at the client's bedside unless specifically permitted by order of a health care provider; and instructing the client to take only those medications prescribed for him or her and not to offer the medications to others.
