Ati lpn paediatrics nursing cohort 65 exam ( 46 Questions)

A nurse is planning home care for a school-age child who is awaiting discharge to home following an acute asthma attack.
Which of the following growth and development stages according to Erikson should the nurse consider in the planning?



Correct Answer: D

Choice A rationale

Autonomy vs. shame and doubt is the stage for toddlers, where children learn to assert their independence and autonomy. This stage doesn't apply to school-age children.

 

Choice B rationale

Identity vs. role confusion is the stage for adolescents, where they explore different roles and integrate them into their identity. This is beyond the scope of school-age children.

 

Choice C rationale

Initiative vs. guilt applies to preschool children, where they begin to assert power and control through directing play and other social interactions. School-age children have moved

past this stage.

 

Choice D rationale

Industry vs. inferiority is the stage for school-age children according to Erikson's theory. In this stage, children develop a sense of pride and competence in their skills and abilities

through school and social interactions.
