The nurse is teaching the parents of a child who is in Piaget's sensorimotor stage of development
Which statement, made by the parents, indicates to the nurse that they understand the teaching and are working appropriately to help the child accomplish developmental tasks of this stage? 1. "We have started buying more colorful toys."
2. "We play with water toys in the bathtub."
3. "We bought some blocks with numbers."
4. "We have been playing peek-a-boo."
4
Rationale 1: Buying more colorful toys fosters visual stimulation as the child experiences physiologic growth and development (nervous system), but does not help the child with cognitive development.
Rationale 2: Playing with water toys in the bathtub helps a child to develop motor. not cognitive. skills.
Rationale 3: Providing a child with numbered blocks targets motor skill development, not cognitive development.
Rationale 4: Playing peek-a-boo helps the infant begin to understand that someone is there even when that person is not visible. Piaget's theory explores how thinking, reasoning, and language develop (cognitive skills). In the sensorimotor stage (birth to 2 years) the infant progresses from responding primarily through reflexes, to purposeful movement and organized activity. It is during this stage that the infant begins to recognize objects and develop object permanence, the knowledge that objects continue to exist even though they are not seen.
