A nurse educator is working with students and assisting them in addressing their clients' spiritual needs
The educator understands that most traditional, second-year college students are aware of their own spiritual development or working to develop their own system of spirituality. The educator realizes that the students are in which stage of Fowler's developmental theory?
1. Mythic-lyrical
2. Intuitive-projective
3. Universalizing
4. Individuating-reflexive
Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Mythical-lyrical describes the person between ages 7 and 12, in a private world of fantasy and wonder.
Rationale 2: The intuitive-projective stage, ages 4 to 6 years, is a combination of images and beliefs given by trusted others, mixed with the child's own experience and imagination.
Rationale 3: Universalizing, which may never be reached by an individual, is a stage of becoming incarnate of the principles of love and justice.
Rationale 4: Fowler describes this as a stage in which the person is constructing his or her own explicit system with a high degree of self-consciousness.
