- A. Gilligan’s moral development theory includes responsibility and caring for self and others
- B. Kohlberg’s moral development theory includes living according to universally agreed-upon principles
- C. Westerhoff’s stages of faith include putting faith into personal and social action and standing up for beliefs
- D. Fowler’s stages of spiritual development include becoming aware of truth from a variety of viewpoints
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Gilligan’s theory, specific to women, emphasizes morality as integrity in relationships and caring for others and self, unlike Kohlberg’s justice-based theory. Westerhoff and Fowler address spiritual, not moral, development.

- B. Look for signs of an eating disorder
- C. Examine muscles for increased mass

- B. Reports seeing halos around lights
