A 6-year-old boy uses his father's flashlight to explore his 3-year-old sister's genitalia. According to Freud, in which stage of psychosocial development should a nurse identify this behavior as normal?
1. Oral2. Anal3. Phallic4. Latency
3
Rationale: The nurse should identify this behavior as normal, because the 6-year-old client who focuses on genital organs is in the phallic stage of Freud's psychosexual stages of development. Children in the phallic stage of development focus on genital organs and develop a sense of sexual identity. Identification with the same-sex parent also occurs at this stage.
