A nurse is teaching a class about Kohlberg's theory of moral development. The nurse should instruct that which of the following stages involves challenging rules that impinge on the rights of others?

A. Negative Doll's eye reflex: By 9 months, the doll's eye reflex (in which the eyes move in the opposite direction of the head) should no longer be present. Its absence is normal and does not require intervention.

B. Negative Crawl reflex: The crawling reflex typically fades by 6 weeks and is replaced by voluntary movements by this age. A negative crawl reflex at 9 months is expected and does not warrant concern.

C. Positive Babinski reflex: A positive Babinski reflex is considered normal in infants up to about 12 months. It involves dorsiflexion of the big toe when the sole is stroked and does not require intervention in a 9-month-old.

D. Positive Moro reflex: The Moro reflex (startle reflex) typically disappears by 4 months of age. Its persistence at 9 months may indicate neurological immaturity or dysfunction and requires further evaluation.

A. "It is expected for children who are hospitalized to regress. The toileting skills will return when your child is feeling better." Hospitalization can be stressful and disruptive for children, often causing temporary regression Reassuring parents that this behavior is common and usually resolves as the child recovers helps reduce parental anxiety and supports understanding.

B. "Why does it bother you that your child has wet the bed?" This response may come across as confrontational or judgmental, potentially increasing the parent's distress rather than providing comfort or support during a vulnerable moment.

C. "I know this can really be embarrassing. I have kids myself, so I understand, and it doesn't bother me." While this statement shows empathy, it may unintentionally shift focus to the nurse’s experience rather than validating the parent’s feelings. A more supportive response addresses the child’s needs and parental concerns directly.

D. "Your child did not seem upset, so I wouldn't worry about it if I were you." Dismissing the parent's feelings about the situation may cause them to feel unheard or invalidated. Acknowledging the parent's emotions while providing reassurance is a more supportive approach.
