As the nurse caring for a 25-year-old patient who has recently been diagnosed with testicular cancer, you know that this patient's illness will impact every aspect of his life. What developmental tasks might you expect to be affected?
A) Achieving self-actualization
B) Marrying and starting a family
C) Reviewing life's accomplishments
D) Establishing financial security
Ans: B
Feedback: It is within families that people grow, are nurtured, acquire a sense of self, develop beliefs and values about life, and progress through life's developmental stages. Developmental tasks associated with young adulthood include marrying and starting a family. The other options are incorrect because achieving self-actualization, reviewing life's accomplishments, and establishing financial security are not developmental tasks for this stage of the patient's life.
