1. What is the primary reason students entering health-related fields study
developmental theories?: Understanding developmental theory helps the nurse better predict, detect,
and prevent problems that may impact a client's health.
2. A nurse assesses an infant's height, weight, and head circumference. Which
type of development is the healthcare professional assessing?: Biophysical
3. Cephalocaudal development means growth is FASTEST/SLOWEST at the top
of the body.
Proximodistal development means growth starts at the CENTER/EXTREMITIES.
: Fastest
Center
4. cephalocaudal development: Development that occurs from the top of the head down to the extrem-
ities.
5. proximodistal development: Development that occurs from the core or centre of the body outwards
(towards the extremities)
6. What are the 4 types of developmental theories to understand human devel-
opment?: Biophysical
Psychosocial
Cognitive
Moral
7. Biophysical Development: How the human bodies grow and change over time
8. Most common biophysical theory used by healthcare professionals is: Gesell's
Theory of Development
9. psychosocial development: Human development based on personality, thinking, and behavior
10. Most common psychosocial theory used by healthcare professionals is: Erik-
son's Theory of Psychosocial Development
11. Cognitive Development: How an individual learns to think and makes sense of the world from childhood
to adulthood
12. Most common cognitive theory used by healthcare professionals is: Piaget's
Theory of Cognitive Development
13. Moral development: Changes in an individual's thoughts emotions, and behaviors that influence beliefs
about what is right and wrong

14. The most common moral theory used by healthcare professionals is: Kohlberg's
Theory of Moral Development.
15. Which growth pattern represents proximodistal development? : The heart and
lungs develop before the lower extremities
16. Identifying Types of Development: Psychosocial: How our personality, thinking, and be-
havior develop
17. Identifying Types of Development: Cognitive: How we learn to think and make sense of the
world
18. Identifying Types of Development: Moral: How our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influ-
ence beliefs about right and wrong
19. Erik Erikson's Theory of Psychosocial Development: Individuals need to accomplish a
particular task before successfully mastering the developmental stage and progressing to the next one. Each task is
described as opposing conflicts.
20. Example of Erik Erikson's Theory of Psychosocial Development: Initiative versus
guilt is the developmental task of the preschool-aged child.
21. Jean Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development: This theory is focused on children's
intellectual organization, specifically how they think, reason, and perceive the world. Children move from one stage
of development to another, seeking cognitive balance and building mental structures to adapt to the world.
22. Examples of Jean Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development: School-aged children
are in the concrete operations period of cognitive development.
23. Lawrence Kohlberg's Theory of Moral Development: This theory is focused on moral
development beginning at age 4 through adulthood. This refers to the changes in an individual's thoughts, emotions,
and behaviors that influence their beliefs about what is right and wrong.
24. Examples of Lawrence Kohlberg's Theory of Moral Development: Level 1 of mora
development is preconventional reasoning.

26. developmental theory match: Theory of moral development: Lawrence Kohlberg
27. developmental theory match: Theory of psychosocial development: Erik Erikson
28. What impact will be experienced by an individual who fails to achieve devel-
opmental milestones?: Future developmental milestone achievement may be delayed.
29. Kohlberg's stages of moral development: preconventional (1-10), conventional (10-19), post-
conventional (19-death)

30. Piaget's Stages of Cognitive development: Sensorimotor (birth-2), Preoperational (2-7),
Concrete operational (7-10), Formal operational (10-death)
31. Erikson's Stages of psychosocial development: Trust (birth-1.5), Autonomy (1.5-3), Industry
(7-12), Identity (12-19), Intimacy (19-35), Generativity (35-65), Intergrity (65-death)

SENCE OF ILLNESS and DEVELOPMENTAL MILESTONES/INTELLECTUAL ABILITY
reached during each stage of life. Each life stage is defined ACCOMPLISH-
MENTS/BENCHMARKS by against which development is measured.: Absence of
illness
Developmental milestones
Benchmarks
33. CASE STUDY: Which client is likely experiencing significant physical growth
that needs to be measured?
Sadie is a 6-month-old infant.
Thomas is a 32-year-old adult
Harold is a 73-year-old adult
Teresa is a 21-year-old adult: Sadie is a 6-month-old infant.
34. CASE STUDY: Jessie begins to assess Sadie's growth. Click to specify if each
example demonstrates cephalocaudal growth or proximodistal growth. : Infants
use the hands to grasp objects before they walk. - Cephalocaudal
Head control is gained before the ability to sit up. - Cephalocaudal
Infants learn to grasp objects with their palm before their fingers. - Proximodistal
Infants gain control over the torso before the legs. - Proximodistal

the client's behaviors have influenced beliefs and decisions in the past. Which
