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.

D. Skin tenting, where the skin remains elevated after being pinched, is a classic sign of dehydration due to reduced skin elasticity.
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
Choice A rationale
Babies at around 6 months are developing object permanence and might experience anxiety if they cannot see familiar faces, such as their mother's due to the mask.
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.
