The nurse explains to parents of school-age children that according to Kohlberg's theory of moral development, their child is at the conventional stage of moral development. Which is the nurse's best explanation for the motivation for school-age children to follow rules?

A. Inspection, percussion, palpation, auscultation: This sequence starts with visual inspection, followed by percussion (tapping the body to assess underlying structures), palpation (using the hands to feel for abnormalities), and finally auscultation (listening with a stethoscope to assess sounds such as heart, lung, or bowel sounds). However, palpation is usually performed before percussion.

B. Inspection, palpation, percussion, auscultation: This is the correct sequence for performing a physical examination. It begins with visual inspection, followed by palpation to assess for

tenderness, masses, or other abnormalities, then percussion to evaluate the density of underlying structures, and finally auscultation to listen to internal sounds.

C. Palpation, percussion, inspection, auscultation: This sequence starts with palpation, followed by percussion, then inspection, and finally auscultation. However, inspection is typically performed before palpation in a physical examination.

D. Inspection, auscultation, palpation, percussion: This sequence starts with visual inspection, followed by auscultation, palpation, and percussion. While auscultation often follows inspection, palpation is usually performed before auscultation.

A. Telling about safety procedures during baths: While bath safety is important, it may not be the most relevant topic for a 9-month-old, who may already have established bathing routines. Additionally, the focus of anticipatory guidance at this age is often broader than just one specific activity.

B. Warning about small objects left on the floor: While important for safety, this advice may be more pertinent when the child is older and more mobile. At 9 months, infants are typically not yet crawling or exploring the environment as extensively.

C. Advising how to create a toddler-safe homE. At 9 months, infants are becoming more mobile and curious, so advising on how to create a safe environment is crucial to prevent accidents and injuries as the child begins to explore their surroundings.

D. Cautioning about putting the baby in a walker: Walkers are generally not recommended due to safety concerns, but this advice may be more relevant when the child is closer to reaching the appropriate age for walker use.
