A. They follow rules out of a sense of being a "good person.": According to Kohlberg, at the conventional stage of moral development, individuals are motivated to follow rules and laws to maintain social order and to be perceived as good members of society.

B. They follow rules out of fear of being punisheD. Fear of punishment is more characteristic of the preconventional stage of moral development, where individuals make moral decisions based on avoiding punishment or seeking reward.

C. They follow rules in order to receive praise from caretakers: Seeking praise from caretakers may influence behavior, but it does not reflect the underlying motivation for following rules according to Kohlberg's theory.

B. According to Erikson's psychosocial development theory, the psychosocial stage for a 10- year-old child is industry versus inferiority. During this stage, children are developing a sense of competence by mastering new skills and tasks. Encouraging the child to complete school work supports this developmental stage by fostering a sense of accomplishment and competence. It

also helps maintain a sense of normalcy and continuity with academic activities despite the hospitalization.

C. Discourage visits from the client's friends: Social interaction with peers is important for the child's emotional well-being and development. Discouraging visits from friends would likely have a negative impact on the child's psychosocial needs during hospitalization.

D. Provide a daily session with a play therapist: While play therapy may be beneficial for addressing emotional needs, it may not directly address the child's psychosocial development according to Erikson's theory. Encouraging completion of school work aligns more closely with the developmental tasks of this stage.
