Extract:
An 18-month-old toddler hospitalized for 10 days, sitting quietly, sucking thumb, turning away from the nurse.
Question 1 of 5
The nurse should understand that these behaviors indicate which of the following developmental reactions?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Regression. This is because the behaviors described typically indicate a return to earlier stages of development in response to stress or anxiety. Children may exhibit behaviors such as bedwetting or thumb-sucking as a way of coping with stress.
A: An anxiety reaction is a general response to stress and does not specifically indicate regression.
B: Developing autonomy refers to a child's desire for independence and is not necessarily related to exhibiting regressive behaviors.
C: Resentment toward the mother does not directly relate to exhibiting regressive behaviors.
Overall, the behaviors described are most indicative of regression, as they reflect a temporary retreat to earlier, less mature behaviors as a coping mechanism.
