A nurse is planning home care for a school-age child who is awaiting discharge to home following an acute asthma attack.
Which of the following growth and development stages according to Erikson should the nurse consider in the planning?
Autonomy vs. shame and doubt.
Identity vs. role confusion.
Initiative vs. guilt.
Industry vs. inferiority.
The Correct Answer is D
Choice A rationale
Autonomy vs. shame and doubt is the stage for toddlers, where children learn to assert their independence and autonomy. This stage doesn't apply to school-age children.
Choice B rationale
Identity vs. role confusion is the stage for adolescents, where they explore different roles and integrate them into their identity. This is beyond the scope of school-age children.
Choice C rationale
Initiative vs. guilt applies to preschool children, where they begin to assert power and control through directing play and other social interactions. School-age children have moved
past this stage.
Choice D rationale
Industry vs. inferiority is the stage for school-age children according to Erikson's theory. In this stage, children develop a sense of pride and competence in their skills and abilities
through school and social interactions.

Correct Answer is A
Explanation
Choice A rationale
Peer pressure is a significant concern during adolescence as individuals seek acceptance and validation from their peers, often engaging in behaviors they might otherwise avoid.
Choice B rationale
Inclusivity refers to ensuring everyone is included and feels welcomed, but it's not a common concern that would make someone engage in risky behavior like vaping.
Choice C rationale
Cold stress is more related to the physical response to cold environments rather than social situations. Adolescents typically experience cold stress due to environmental conditions, not peer interactions.
Choice D rationale
Role confusion, according to Erikson's stages of development, involves uncertainty about one's role and identity, but it doesn't directly explain engaging in risky behaviors due to peer influence.
