Question 1 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a 10-year-old child who will be hospitalized for an extended period of time. Which of the following actions should the nurse include in the plan of care to meet the client's psychosocial needs according to Erikson?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Encourage the client to complete school work. According to Erikson's psychosocial theory, the stage for a 10-year-old child is Industry vs. Inferiority, where they are focused on developing a sense of competence through mastering tasks. By encouraging the child to complete school work, the nurse supports the child's sense of accomplishment and mastery, which is crucial for their psychosocial development.
Choice A is incorrect because varying the child's schedule each day may disrupt their sense of routine and stability, which is important for children in the Industry vs. Inferiority stage.
Choice B is incorrect as play therapy is beneficial but may not directly address the child's need for competence and mastery.
Choice D is incorrect as discouraging visits from friends may isolate the child, hindering their social development.
