-
Because accidents such as fires and car and bicycle crashes are the leading cause
of death and injury in the school-age period, safety is a priority health teaching
consideration. Falls,
drownings, and poisonings are priority for toddlers.
, c. Biophysical development
-
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.
b. Master career plans.
-
From 29 to 34, the person directs enormous energy toward achievement and
mastery of the surrounding world. The years from 35 to 43 are a time of
vigorous examination of life goals
and relationships. Between the ages of 23 and 28, the person refines self-
perception and ability for intimacy.
b. Formal operations
-
Jean Piaget’s theory includes four stages in sequential order: sensorimotor,
preoperational, concrete operations, and formal operations. Intimacy versus
isolation is part of Erik Erikson’s
psychosocial theory of development. Latency is stage 4 of Freud’s five-stage
psychosexual theory of development. The postconventional level of reasoning is
part of Kohlberg’s theory of moral development.

information will the nurse consider?
-

same needs.

b. Needs to be individualized to the patient’s unique needs.
-
Every older adult is unique, and the nurse needs to approach each one as a
unique individual. the nursing care of older adults poses special challenges
because of great variation in their physiological, cognitive, and psychosocial
health. Aging does not automatically lead to disability and dependence.
Chronological age often has little relation to the reality of aging for an older
adult.
c. Ask patients to recall past experiences that correspond with their interests.
-
Teaching strategies include the use of past experiences to connect new learning
with previous knowledge, focusing on a single topic to help the patient concentrate,
giving the patient enough time in which to respond because older adults’ reaction
times are longer than those of younger persons, and keeping the tone of voice low;
older adults are able to hear low sounds better than high-frequency sounds.
1. Cares for children and aging parents at the same time
-
1. When middle-aged adults are caring for their children and their aging,
dependent parents at the same time, they are referred to as the sandwich
generation. Their parents and children represent the bread, and they are the
meat in between.
2. Role reversal is not a definition of the sandwich generation. 3. Assisting both sets
of parents is not a definition of the sandwich generation.
, 4. Being a middle child between older and younger siblings is not the defi nition of
the sandwich generation.
a. Assure the mother that the child is developmentally within specified norms.
-
Assure the mother that the child is displaying normal behavior. At 18 months, the
child is in the sensorimotor period of development. Piaget describes hitting,
looking, grasping, and
kicking as normal schemas to deal with the environment. The social worker does not
need to be consulted in this case nor is psychological counseling warranted,
because the child is
exhibiting normal behaviors. Play is an important part of all children’s development.
Removing toys and the opportunity to play with them may actually hinder the child’s
development.
