Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Biophysical development is how our physical bodies grow and change. Moral development is the difference between right and wrong. Cognitive development comprises changes in intelligence, use of language, and development of thinking. Psychosocial development consists of variations in emotions and relationships with others.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
If individuals have repeated development failures, inadequacies sometimes result should be considered. Developmental failures could manifest with ineffective coping skills. However, when an individual experiences successes, health is promoted. Patients have unique patterns of growth and development that are not uniform. Nurses must consider the influence of culture and context on growth and development.
