Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Providing as much care as possible does not meet the independence need required in this age group.
Rationale 2: The old-old stage, age 85 and older, is characterized by increasing physical problems. The nursing implication for this age group is to assist with self-care as required, but maintain as much independence as possible.
Rationale 3: Safety measures should be applied in the middle-old age group, age 75 to 84 years.
Rationale 4: Peer interactions become important in the young-old stage, age 65 to 74 years.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Vygotsky explored the concept of cognitive development within a social, historical, and cultural context, arguing that adults guide children to learn and that development depends on the use of language, play, and extensive social interaction.
Rationale 2: Skinner's research led to the term operant conditioning and most of his work was with laboratory animals.
Rationale 3: Lawrence Kohlberg's theory specifically addresses the moral development of children and adults.
Rationale 4: Piaget developed the cognitive theory of development.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
