Answer to Question 1

A
Kohlberg developed a theory on moral development.
Piaget developed a theory on cognitive development.
Freud developed a theory on psychosexual development.
Erikson developed a theory on psychosocial development.

Answer to Question 2

C
A non-opioid analgesic, such as acetaminophen, is used to treat mild musculoskeletal pain effec-tively.
Opioids are generally prescribed for moderate to severe pain.
Anticonvulsants are used to successfully treat neuropathic pain and are referred to as adjuvants.
NSAIDs provide relief for mild to moderate acute intermittent pain. Chronic NSAID use in the older adult client is not recommended and should be avoided, as it is often associated with more side effects (gastrointestinal bleeding and renal insufficiency).
