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.

Correct Answer is D
Explanation
Choice A rationale
Threatening a shot can cause fear and anxiety, potentially making the child more resistant to taking medication in the future.
Choice B rationale
Hiding medication in food can lead to mistrust if the child discovers it, and it's not a sustainable long-term solution.
Choice C rationale
Telling the child the medicine tastes like candy is misleading and can lead to distrust. It's important to be honest while finding practical solutions.
Choice D rationale
Offering an ice pop prior can numb the taste buds, making the medication more palatable without deceit, and can build positive associations with taking medication.
Correct Answer is B
Explanation
Choice A rationale
Infants typically do not double their birth weight by 2-3 months. This milestone is more commonly reached slightly later in infancy.
Choice B rationale
By 5-6 months, many infants double their birth weight, indicating healthy growth and development. This timeline aligns with common pediatric growth patterns.
Choice C rationale
While growth continues at a steady pace, most infants have already doubled their birth weight before reaching 9 months. This age generally marks further physical and
developmental milestones.
Choice D rationale
By 12 months, infants have typically more than doubled their birth weight. This age is associated with continued growth, development, and new milestones.
