A client tells the nurse that attending church school on Sundays and learning about those who were influenced by Jesus and God is an important aspect of the client's life
From this information, the nurse determines that the client is at which spiritual developmental stage?
1. Adolescence.
2. Young adulthood.
3. 7–12 years old.
4. Mid-adulthood.
Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: In adolescence, experience of the world is beyond the family unit, and spiritual beliefs can aid understanding of extended environment. There is a general conformity to the beliefs of those around the adolescent.
Rationale 2: In young adulthood, the individual forms independent commitments, lifestyle, beliefs, and attitudes, and begins to develop personal meaning for symbols of religion and faith.
Rationale 3: From 7 to 12, the client attempts to sort fantasy from fact by demanding proofs or demonstrations of reality. Stories are important for finding meaning and organizing experience. Stories and beliefs are accepted literally.
Rationale 4: In mid-adulthood, there are attempts to reconcile contradictions in mind and experience, and to remain open to others' truths.
