A nursing student is preparing a presentation on Erikson's developmental theory. The student wants to include in the presentation that Erikson's eight developmental stages are most closely aligned with:

1. Cognitive behaviorist concepts.
2. Maslow's theory of self-actualization and hierarchy of needs.
3. Freud's psychosexual stages.
4. Sullivan's stages of interpersonal development.

Rationale: Like Erikson's developmental theory, Sullivan believed that learning and development occur across the lifespan and that people can relearn tasks previously unaccomplished at earlier stages of life. Freud believed all developmental tasks were accomplished by a certain age, and unaccomplished tasks left individuals fixated at a particular stage causing lifelong psychiatric problems. Cognitive behaviorist concepts do not account for developmental tasks. Maslow proposed an order of basic human needs that were not linked to developmental stages or tasks. According to Maslow, physiologic needs must be met before higher-level needs such as self-esteem and self-actualization.

An adult male patient is taking medication for blood pressure management. The patient states to the nurse, "I'm not going to take these drugs anymore, because they are interfering with my sex life." What is the most appropriate response by the nurse?

A. "It is unfortunate these drugs can cause erectile dysfunction but managing your blood pressure is more important than your sexual performance." B. "I understand how discouraging it must be to live with this adverse effect, but you could have a stroke if you do not take your blood pressure medications." C. "Let's discuss this effect with your prescriber. There are other drugs available to manage your blood pressure that may not have the same adverse effect." D. "I am glad you told me about your experience with this common side effect. Sexual performance can be a difficult subject to discuss."
