Industry vs. Inferiority (6 to 12 years): Here, children learn to read, write, and do things on their own. Peers and teachers become significant figures, and children strive to be competent and successful. Identity vs. Role Confusion (12 to 18 years): Adolescents search for a sense of self and personal identity, through an intense exploration of personal values, beliefs, and goals.

Question 5 of 5
A nurse is conducting an interview with a client. Which example best demonstrates use of open-ended questions in an interview?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Do you smoke?' This is a closed-ended question that can be answered with a simple 'yes' or 'no.' It doesn't encourage elaboration or detailed responses. 'How are you feeling?' This is an open-ended question that encourages the client to provide more detailed and descriptive responses about their current state or feelings. It allows the client to share more information and gives the nurse a better understanding of their condition. 'Are you feeling well?' Similar to option A, this is a closed-ended question. It prompts a 'yes' or 'no' answer without inviting further discussion or detailed explanation. 'Do you use any illicit drugs?' This is another closed-ended question that requires a 'yes' or 'no' answer. It does not provide the opportunity for the client to discuss their drug use in detail.
