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, the nurse tells the group that infants
have which developmental need?
Correct!
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.
Content Area: Developmental Stages
,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.
Review Erikson’s theory of psychosocial development as it relates to the
infant if you had difficulty with this question.

,Question 2
pts
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?
Correct!
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 breast milk 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
between 4 and 6 months of age.
Test-Taking Strategy: Use the process of elimination and focus on the
data in the question. Recalling that infants double their weight by 6
Content Area: Developmental Stages
, months of age will direct you to the correct option. Review the growth
rate of an infant if you had difficulty with this question.
