A nurse is providing information to a group of pregnant
clients and their partners about the psychosocial
development of an infant. Using Erikson’s theory of
psychosocial development, thenurse tells the group that
infants have which developmental need?
Coorrrecct Need to rely on the fact that their needs will be met
!
Must have needs ignored for short periods to
develop a healthy personality
Need to tolerate a great deal of frustration and
discomfort to develop a healthy personality
Need to experience frustration, so it is best to
allow an infant to cry for a while before meeting his
or her needs
Rationale: According to Erikson’s theory of
psychosocial development, infants struggle to
establish a sense of basic trust rather than a sense of
basic mistrust in their world, their caregivers, and
themselves. If provided with consistent satisfying
experiences that are delivered in a timely manner,
infants come to rely on the fact that their needs are
met and that, in turn, they will be able to tolerate
some degree of frustration and discomfort until those
needs are met. This sense of confidence is an early
form of trust and provides the foundation for a
healthy personality. Therefore the other options are
incorrect.
Test-Taking Strategy: Use the process of elimination.
Eliminate the option that contains the closed-ended
word “must.” Eliminate the comparable or alike
options and indicate that experiencing frustration is
necessary. ReviewErikson’s theory of psychosocial
development as it relatesto the infant if you had
difficulty with this question.
A nurse is weighing a breastfed 6-month-old infant who has been
brought to the pediatrician’s office for a scheduled visit. The
infant’s weight at birth was 6 lb 8 oz. The nurse notes that the
infant now weighs 13 lb. The nurse should take which action?
Co
orrrec
ct!
Tell the mother that the infant’s weight is increasing as expected.
Tell the mother to decrease the daily number of feedings because
the weight gain is excessive.
Tell the mother that semisolid foods should not be introduced
until the infant’s weight stabilizes.
Tell the mother that the infant should be
switched from breastmilk to formula because the
weight gain is inadequate.
Rationale: Infants usually double their birth weight by
6 months and triple it by 1 year of age. If the infant is
6 lb 8 oz, at birth, a weight of 13 lb at 6 months of age
is to be expected. Semisolid foods are usually
introduced between4 and 6 months of age.
Test-Taking Strategy: Use the process of elimination
andfocus on the data in the question. Recalling that
infants double their weight by 6 months of age will
direct you to the correct option. Review the growth
rate of an infant if you had difficulty with this
question.
