The clinic administrator has suggested that the nurse teach all children newly diagnosed with diabetes in a single class to save nursing time. The children recently diagnosed range in age from 6 to 15. Which is the rationale for the nursing staff to continue with more than one group session?
1. Freud's theory of psychosexual development, which states that the 6-year-old child's sexual energy is at rest while the adolescent has developed mature sexuality.
2. Erikson's psychosocial theory, which discusses how children learn to relate to others.
3. Piaget's cognitive development theory, which says the 6-year-old child learns by concrete examples, while the 15-year-old adolescent can think abstractly.
4. Kohlberg's theory, which says the young children are conventional in their thinking and will want to learn to please others, while older children can internalize values and will learn for their own principles.

Explanation:
1. This theory would not explain why it would be best to separate the group by age.
2. Erikson's theory is about relationships, not learning ability.
3. The younger child will need to handle the equipment and observe demonstrations, while the older child will require more discussion and less demonstration.
4. Kohlberg's theory may explain the reasons the child learns the material but does not discuss the learning style.
