A parent asks for information related to fostering growth and development. The nurse recommends scouts as an activity that will foster this particular stage of development
Based on what you know regarding growth and development,which stage of Erikson's "psychosocial stages of development"is the child in?
1. Trust versus mistrust
2. Initiative versus guilt
3. Industry versus inferiority
4. Identity versus role confusion
Answer:3
Rationale: Trust versus mistrust (birth to 1 year)—The task of the first year of life is to establish trust in the people providing care. Trust is fostered by provision of food,clean clothing,touch,and comfort.If basic needs are not met,the infant will eventually learn to mistrust others.Initiative versus guilt (3 to 6 years)—The young child initiates new activities and considers new ideas. This interest in exploring the world creates a child who is involved and busy.Constant criticism, on the other hand,leads to feelings of guilt and a lack of purpose.Identity versus role confusion (12 to 18 years)—In adolescence,as the body matures and thought processes become more complex,a new sense of identity or self is established. The self,family,peer group,and community are all examined and redefined. The adolescent who is unable to establish a meaningful definition of self will experience confusion in one or more roles of life.Industry versus inferiority (6 to 12 years)—The middle years of childhood are characterized by development of new interests and by involvement in activities. The child takes pride in accomplishments in sports,school,home,and community.If the child cannot accomplish what is expected,however,the result will be a sense of inferiority. Evaluation
