A nurse is teaching a class about the effects of a negative body image.
The nurse should include that which of the following is an adverse effect of a negative body image?

Choice A rationale:

The client's statement, "I will be asked to identify different sensations, such as sharp or dull," indicates an understanding of the teaching on tactile testing. This choice demonstrates knowledge about the purpose and nature of the test, which involves identifying various sensations, including sharp or dull, to assess the client's sensory perception. The client's response aligns with the expected outcome of the teaching, showing comprehension.

Choice B rationale:

The statement, "Small needles will be inserted into one of my muscles," is not an accurate description of tactile testing. Tactile testing typically involves assessing the client's ability to perceive sensations on their skin, such as sharpness, dullness, temperature, or pressure. Inserting needles into muscles is not a part of this test, so this choice does not indicate an understanding of the teaching.

Choice C rationale:

The statement, "A dye is injected into my vein during this test," is not related to tactile testing. Tactile testing does not involve injecting dye into veins. This response suggests a misunderstanding of the purpose and procedure of the test, so it is not the correct choice.

Choice D rationale:

The statement, "I will be asleep during this test," is not consistent with tactile testing. Tactile testing is a sensory assessment that requires the client to be awake and actively participate in identifying sensations. This response indicates a lack of understanding of the test, and it is not the correct choice.

Choice A rationale:

Piaget's formal operational stage is characterized by abstract thinking, hypothesis testing, and logical reasoning, but it does not include the development of object permanence. This stage typically occurs during adolescence, not in early childhood when object permanence is established.

Choice B rationale:

The preoperational stage is characterized by the development of symbolic thought and egocentrism but not object permanence. Object permanence starts to develop during the sensorimotor stage.

Choice C rationale:

Concrete operational thinking is focused on logical and systematic thinking related to concrete objects and events. It does not include the development of object permanence, which occurs in the earlier sensorimotor stage.

Choice D rationale:

Object permanence is a concept that develops during Piaget's sensorimotor stage, which typically occurs from birth to about two years of age. During this stage, children learn that objects continue to exist even when they are out of sight. They develop the ability to represent objects mentally and understand the concept of permanence.
