Feedback:
The adolescent develops many skills during the teen ages, which help adolescents make educational and career choices. The main point of Erikson's theory on which the nurse should focus is that the adolescent faces many different decisions during the teen years concerning the future and the adult world. Piaget states that cognitive development is cumulative; that is, what is learned is based on what has been known before. The adolescent thinks in the abstract and develops skills to participate in complex problem solving.
