Question 1 of 5

The unsteady 20S-year-old client persists in ambulating to the bathroom alone despite being reminded to call for assistance. The nurse concludes that, according to Havighurst’s developmental tasks, this behavior reflects which need of the client?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The client is attempting to perform self-care and to demonstrate the ability to be self-sufficient and independent from other adults.
