Q31. [Essay] · Cognitive Domain: Application
Based on the primary characteristics present during early adolescence, illustrate the considerations that a counselor may need to take into account when counseling a person of this age.
Suggested answer: Sample response: This period, from ages 13 to 18, is marked by rapid physical changes and the development of sexual characteristics, increased peer interaction and influence, and the cognitive movement to formal, abstract reasoning. Given these characteristics, the counselor may consider an open approach that takes into account the current transitional stage (in terms of physical changes and sexual characteristics) of early adolescence while recognizing the influence that peers may have on their behavior. Also, the ability of early adolescents to engage in formal and abstract reasoning likely enhances the tools that counselors may use with them.
Q32. [Essay] · Cognitive Domain: Application
Using an example, illustrate how pathology can develop during developmental periods from an integrative, biopsychosocial perspective.
Suggested answer: Sample response: Human development is influenced by biological, psychological, and social factors. For example, heart disease that develops in middle to late adulthood can be attributed to pathophysiology or biological components like genetics, and it can also be influenced by sociocultural and psychological factors interacting with the cardiovascular system. Social and cultural conditions like poverty and nutrition can lead to the development of heart disease, and psychological dispositions such as stress management strategies can lead to high blood pressure and other pathologies in the cardiovascular system. All of these factors interact and can lead to the development of pathology.
Q33. [Essay] · Cognitive Domain: Analysis

Additionally, this may be enhanced by the knowledge that counselors have regarding community resources clients may be eventually be referred to.
