Which statement suggests a struggle with Erikson's phase of Identity vs. role confusion? Select one:

Choice A Reason:

Safety needs is correct. In this scenario, the individual's safety is compromised both at work (due to the potential layoff) and at home (due to intimate partner violence). Safety needs, which include physical and emotional security, are fundamental in Maslow's hierarchy and take precedence over other needs in this situation.

Choice B Reason:

Physiological needs is incorrect. While a possible layoff can impact financial stability, it may not directly threaten immediate access to basic physiological needs like food, water, and shelter. The immediate safety concern takes precedence.

Choice C Reason:

Love and belonging needs is incorrect. Although witnessing intimate partner violence can strain relationships and affect the sense of belonging, the primary concern in this scenario is the immediate threat to safety.

Choice D Reason:

Esteem needs is incorrect. The threat of a layoff and exposure to domestic violence can impact self-esteem, but the more critical issue at the moment is ensuring physical safety.

Choice A Reason:

"Your provider usually recommends a diaphragm and spermicidal cream." This response prescribes a specific method without considering the client's preferences, health history, or individual needs. It's important to involve the client in the decision-making process and discuss various contraceptive options.

Choice B Reason:

"It's your choice, of course, but birth control pills are the most reliable." This response might pressure the client toward a specific method and may not consider other factors such as the client's preference, medical history, or potential side effects. It's essential to provide information and support rather than directing the client to a particular choice.

Choice C Reason:

"I’d consider an intrauterine device. You won't have to worry about pregnancy. “Similar to the first option, this response recommends a specific method without a thorough discussion of the client's preferences, health considerations, or individual needs. It's important to explore various options collaboratively with the client.

Choice D Reason:

"Let's talk about the available options and go from there. “This response is patient-centered and encourages collaborative decision-making. It allows the nurse to discuss various contraceptive methods, considering the client's preferences, health history, and individual needs. It supports shared decision-making between the nurse and the client.
