Answer to Question 1

D
The preconventional stage in Kohlberg's framework consist of the morality stage (avoid punishment by not breaking rules of authority figures) and the individualism, instrumental purpose, and exchange stage (follow rules when they are in his or her own interest).

Answer to Question 2

B
Any narcotics or controlled substances are stored in compliance with federal regulations (i.e., in locked containers); their administration requires the nurse to record the name of the client, the specific medication used, the time administered, and the names of the prescribing physician and the nurse administering the medication in a separate record. Nurses are responsible for counting the narcotics and controlled substances at specific intervals, such as one nurse who is going off duty and one nurse coming on duty at change of shift.
