Question 1 of 5
The nurse is performing a cognitive assessment on a 16-year-old client. Which behaviors demonstrated will the nurse identify as middle formal operational, according to Piaget's theory? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,B,C
Rationale: The correct answers are A, B, and C. In Piaget's theory of cognitive development, the middle formal operational stage (around 12-16 years) is characterized by abstract thinking, hypothetical reasoning, and concern for social issues.
Choice A demonstrates the ability to prioritize social relationships over familial ones, reflecting abstract thinking.
Choice B shows concern for a complex societal issue, which aligns with abstract and hypothetical reasoning.
Choice C reflects the desire for autonomy and decision-making independence, typical of this stage.
Choices D and E do not align with middle formal operational stage criteria. D indicates difficulty with complex reasoning, while E relates to personal behavior rather than abstract thinking or decision-making abilities.
