A parent is concerned with the interpersonal skills of her 12-year-old son. Based on in-terpersonal theory, the nurse asks:
a. "Does your son belong to team or club with friends or classmates?"
b. "Does he feel bad when he does something he knows he shouldn't do?"
c. "How does he tend to act when he doesn't get exactly what he wants?"
d. "How confident is he in situations that are generally unfamiliar for him?"
ANS: A
According to Sullivan, the expected development of the preadolescent permits him or her to work with peers toward a common goal and to develop a sense of "oneness." Development of a social conscience is not related to interpersonal skill development. Coping with frustra-tion develops in late adolescence. Confidence is suggested as a developmental issue of 12- to 18-year-olds in Erikson's model.
