The nurse who uses Erikson's theory to assess a 20-year-old client's developmental status expects to find which of the following behaviours?
a. Coping with physical and social losses
b. Enjoyment of a sense of freedom and participation in the community
c. Applying oneself to learning productive skills
d. Overcoming a sense of guilt or frustration
B
According to Erikson, the young adult is in the intimacy versus isolation stage of development. This is the time in which the young adult can become fully participative in the community, en-joying adult freedom and responsibility.
Coping with physical and social losses is found in Erikson's integrity versus despair stage (old age) of development.
Applying oneself to learning productive skills is consistent behaviour found in Erikson's industry versus inferiority stage (ages 6 to 11 years) of development.
According to Erikson, overcoming a sense of guilt or frustration takes place in the initiative ver-sus guilt stage (ages 3 to 6 years) of development.
