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.
