Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
The preschool child can understand the concepts of right and wrong and is developing a conscience. Preschool children see morality as external to themselves; they defer to power (that of the adult). The child's moral standards are those of their parents or other adults who influence them, not necessarily their own.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
The nurse understands that the girl is demonstrating magical thinking. Magical thinking is a normal part of preschool development. The preschool-age child believes her thoughts to be all-powerful. Transduction is reasoning by viewing one situation as the basis for another situation whether or not they are truly causally linked. Animism is attributing life-like qualities to inanimate objects. Centration is focusing on one aspect of a situation while neglecting others.
