Question 1 of 5
Which stage of Erikson's theory would the nurse explain describes the development of a preschooler?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Initiative versus guilt. During the preschool years (ages 3-6), children are focused on developing a sense of purpose and taking initiative in activities. Erikson's theory states that successfully navigating this stage leads to a sense of accomplishment and initiative, while failure can result in feelings of guilt. This stage aligns with the preschooler's natural curiosity and desire to explore and try new things.
Incorrect choices:
A: Identity versus role confusion - This stage occurs during adolescence, not preschool years.
B: Autonomy versus sense of shame and doubt - This stage is focused on toddlers, not preschoolers.
D: Trust versus mistrust - This stage is related to infancy, not preschool age.
E, F, G: Not provided.
