The nurse is describing the maturation of various organ systems during toddlerhood to the parents. What would the nurse correctly include in this description?

A. Developmental age is an important aspect of the child's health but is not the primary focus of a physical examination following a health history.

B. While the parents' information is valuable, the focus of the physical examination is on the child, not the parents.

C. The child should be the focus of the physical examination to assess their current health status and to identify any immediate care needs.

D. The chief complaint is a critical component of the health history, but the physical examination should be comprehensive and focused on the child as a whole

B. Trust vs. mistrust: This is the first stage, occurring from birth to approximately 18 months of age, where infants learn to trust or mistrust their caregivers and the world based on

whether or not their basic needs—such as food, affection, and safety—are met.

E. Autonomy vs. shame and doubt: The second stage, from roughly 18 months to 3 years, is when toddlers begin to assert their independence. If caregivers encourage self-sufficient behavior, toddlers learn to be autonomous; if not, they may develop feelings of shame and doubt about their abilities.

C. Initiative vs. guilt: During the preschool years, from about 3 to 6 years, children begin to assert power and control over their world through directing play and other social interactions.

Successful completion of this stage leads to a sense of initiative, while failure results in feelings of guilt.

A. Industry vs. inferiority: Occurring from age 6 to puberty, this stage is characterized by the child's navigation of social demands and learning to develop a sense of pride in their accomplishments and abilities. If this stage is managed well, the child will feel industrious; if not, they may feel inferior.

D. Identity vs. role confusion: The final stage in Erikson's model for adolescence, from puberty to young adulthood, involves developing a sense of self and personal identity. Success leads to an ability to stay true to oneself, while failure leads to role confusion and a weak sense of self.
