The nurse observes an 8-month-old infant cry when the mother leaves the room. What does this infant's behavior indicate to the nurse?
A) Confusion
B) Permanence
C) Reversibility
D) Assimilation
B
Feedback:
Gaining a concept of permanence also contributes to "8th-month anxiety," a stage in which infants continue to cry for their parents because they know their parents still exist even when out of sight. Crying when the mother leaves the room does not indicate confusion, reversibility, or assimilation.
