A nurse works with young adults engaged in discussions regarding working schedules over the holidays. They will be able to balance the emotional as well as logical side of the discussion based on which of the following?
1. Formal operational stage
2. Postformal thought process
3. Kohlberg's theory of moral development
4. Fowler's spiritual development theory
Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Young adults are able to use formal operations, characterized by the ability to think abstractly.
Rationale 2: Postformal thought, sometimes called the problem finding stage, is characterized by creative thought, realistic thinking, problem forming, and solving. Postformal thinkers are able to comprehend and balance arguments created by both logic and emotion.
Rationale 3: Young adults enter the postconventional level of Kohlberg's moral theory.
Rationale 4: This would not be considered a spiritual dilemma, so Fowler's theory would not be utilized.
