A nurse is collecting data from a 10-year-old child during a well-child visit.
Which of the following statements by the child indicates he is meeting the psychosocial development expectations of a school-age child?
"I like to collect rocks.”.
"I really want to do well in school.”.
"I can do simple math problems in my head.”.
"My parents set rules that I need to follow.”. .
The Correct Answer is A
Choice A rationale
Collecting objects like rocks reflects the interest in categorizing and organizing, which aligns with the industry vs. inferiority stage for school-age children.
Choice B rationale
Wanting to do well in school also fits with the industry vs. inferiority stage, where children gain pride from achieving tasks and being competent.
Choice C rationale
Doing simple math problems in one's head indicates cognitive development but doesn't directly align with the psychosocial development focus.
Choice D rationale
Following rules set by parents is important, but it's more about conforming to authority rather than indicating psychosocial development specific to industry vs. inferiority.

Choice A rationale

Choice B rationale
Hunger is a common cause of crying in infants but doesn't specifically relate to the scenario provided regarding the mask.
Choice C rationale
Cold can cause discomfort in infants, leading to crying, but this is more of a general response and not directly related to the mask scenario.
Choice D rationale
Stress can cause crying, but the specific trigger in the scenario is the mother's masked face, causing potential anxiety.
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
Choice A rationale
Punishing a toddler after a tantrum may reinforce negative behavior as the child may seek attention through tantrums.
Choice B rationale
Telling a toddler that tantrums are unacceptable can be difficult for them to understand and may not prevent the behavior.
Choice C rationale
Offering rewards for stopping tantrums can lead to dependency on rewards and doesn't teach appropriate emotional regulation.
