One of the ways in which the social development of adults can be assessed is by observing the individual's ability to effectively communicate with whom? (Select all that apply.)
a. His or her significant other
b. His or her physician
c. His or her children
d. His or her co-workers
A, C, D
These are people with whom the adult interacts on a daily basis so effective communication will confirm that one aspect of the social task of adulthood is achieved. It would be unfair to base this on how effectively the client communicates with his or her physician because this interaction does not occur on a daily basis and often occurs during stressful times.
