Question 1 of 5
A 4-year-old child grabs toys from siblings, saying, 'I want that toy now!' The siblings cry, and the child's parent becomes upset with the behavior. Using the Freudian theory, a nurse can interpret the child's behavior as a product of impulses originating in the:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: id. According to Freudian theory, the id is the part of the psyche that operates on the pleasure principle, seeking immediate gratification of needs and desires without considering consequences or others' feelings. In this scenario, the child's impulsive behavior of grabbing toys without regard for others' emotions or consequences aligns with the characteristics of the id. The id is present from birth and is driven by basic instincts and urges. The ego, on the other hand, seeks to balance the demands of the id and the superego by considering reality and societal norms, which the child in this scenario is not demonstrating. The superego represents the internalized societal and parental standards that guide behavior, which the child has not yet fully internalized at this age. The preconscious refers to thoughts that are not currently in awareness but can be easily brought to consciousness, which is not directly related to the impulsive behavior displayed by the child.
