When assessing pediatric patients, the magical thinking period of development is associated with which period?
  1. Adolescents
  2. Small children (4-7 Years)
  3. Toddlers (15 months to 3 years)
  4. Infants (less than 1 year)
Explanation
Answer: B - The magical thinking stage is associated with the small child within the age group of 4-7 years old. This is a stage in which cause and effect are not necessarily objectively determined, but slanted by the child’s desires. During the EMT-B’s assessment, the EMT-B should keep in mind that not all information may be credible.
