Hospice is a program of care and support for people who are terminally ill. Hospice helps people who are terminally ill live comfortably. The focus is on comfort, not on curing an illness. Respite care is a very short inpatient stay given to a hospice patient so that their usual caregiver can rest.
The Piaget stages of development is a blueprint that describes the stages of normal intellectual development, from infancy through adulthood. This includes thought, judgment, and knowledge. The stages were named after psychologist and developmental biologist Jean Piaget, who recorded the intellectual development and abilities of infants, children, and teens. Piaget's four stages of intellectual (or cognitive) development are:
Piaget divided the child's path of development into four stages which began with birth and culminated in the teen years. These stages are: Sensorimotor stage (0-2 yrs), Preoperational stage (2-7 yrs), Concrete operations (7-11 yrs), and Formal operations (from 11-15 and up).A chief tenet of Piaget's theory is that these stages do not vary in order, cannot be skipped, and should not be rushed.ean Piaget was a Swiss biologist, philosopher, and psychologist best known for his work in the area of developmental psychology. Like Sigmund Freud and Erik Erikson, Piaget divided cognitive growth and development into fixed stages.
