Answer to Question 1

B

Feedback
A Incorrect: Magical thinking does not characterize stage zero.
B Correct: Stage zero is characterized by impulses that rule behavior. What is good is pleasant or exciting; what is bad is painful or fearful.
C Incorrect: Sharing is seen in stage 3 (interpersonal concordance orientation) of the second level of morality called the conventional level, not stage zero.
D Incorrect: Goodness characterizes the interpersonal concordance orientation, not stage zero.

Answer to Question 2

B
Painful and frightening procedures are accomplished in the treatment room. The child needs to feel safe and secure in the patient room. Performing the procedure in front of other children is inappropriate.
