The school nurse is teaching a group of parents and their teenage sons about puberty and sexual growth. A parent asks the nurse,, Does fertility coincide with ejaculation? The nurse replies:
 
  1. Yes, if your son is ejaculating, he also possesses fertility.
  2. Sexual maturity does not occur until age 18, so don't worry about anything until then.
  3. Fertility follows several months after the first ejaculation.
  4. You'll have to ask your physician about this since it is a sensitive subject.

Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Ejaculation does not mean the same thing as fertility, which does occur before sexual maturity.
Rationale 2: Fertility follows several months later, with sexual maturity achieved by age 18. Ejaculation does not mean the same thing as fertility, which does occur before sexual maturity.
Rationale 3: The milestone of male puberty is considered to be the first ejaculation, which commonly occurs at about 14 years of age. Fertility follows several months later, with sexual maturity achieved by age 18.
Rationale 4: The nurse, in presenting topics of a sensitive nature, should be able to answer questions regarding the topic, not referring the audience to a physician's opinion.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1,4,2,3
Rationale 1: Kohlberg's stage 1 of the preconventional level (punishment and obedience); that is, they act to avoid being punished.
Rationale 2: Stage 4 is the law and order orientation. The motivation for moral action at this stage is to live up to what significant others think of the child.
Rationale 3: Stage 2 (instrumental-relativist orientation). These children do things to benefit themselves. Fairness, in which everyone gets a fair share or chance, becomes important.
Rationale 4: Stage 3 is the good boy-nice girl stage. The child shifts from the concrete interests of individuals to the interests of groups.
