Answer to Question 1

Ans: B, C, D
It is during the adolescent years that teenagers develop their own set of values and morals at different rates. At the beginning of this stage, teenagers begin to question the status quo. The majority of their choices are based on emotions while they are questioning societal standards. Adolescents also begin to question their formal religious practices. As they progress through adolescence, teenagers become more interested in the spiritualism of their religion than in the actual practices of their religion. The toddler will base his or her actions on the avoidance of punishment and the attainment of pleasure. The preschool child can understand the concepts of right and wrong and is developing a conscience. The school-age child is able to understand and incorporate into his behavior the concept of the golden rule.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
The first question should be asking how the accident occurred in order to get an idea of the types of injuries the children may have sustained. All other questions can be asked after establishing this information; however, asking names and numbers of the witnesses would be the last question asked by the nurse, and would most likely be asked by someone else.
