The nurse presenting a seminar on Erikson's developmental theory is correct in stating that this theory supports the belief that adjustment disorders usually occur:
1. When family dysfunctional behavior causes chronic stress
2. After the individual experiences a sudden loss
3. When failure to complete closure exists
4. When age-appropriate tasks are not completed
ANS: 4
Erikson's theory postulates that difficulties in adjustment occur when age-appropriate behaviors or tasks are not completed, resulting in an inability to move forward with developmental tasks. Options 1, 2, and 3 are not related to Erikson's theory.
