Question 1 pts
A nurse is providing information to a group of pregnant clients and their partners about the
psychosocial development of an infant. Using Erikson's theory of psychosocial development, what
should the nurse tell the group about the infants?
Correct! Rely on the fact that their needs will be met
Tolerate a great deal of frustration and discomfort to develop a healthy personality
1
, Ignore needs for short periods to develop a healthy personality
Experience frustration to allow an infant to cry for a while before meeting his or her needs
Rationale: According to Erikson’s theory of psychosocial development, infants struggle to
establish a sense of basic trust rather than a sense of basic mistrust in their world, their
caregivers, and themselves. If provided with consistent satisfying experiences that are
delivered in a timely manner, infants come to rely on the fact that their needs are met and that,
in turn, they will be able to tolerate some degree of frustration and discomfort until those
needs are met. This sense of confidence is an early form of trust and provides the foundation
for a healthy personality. Therefore the other options are incorrect.
Test-Taking Strategy: Eliminate the option that contains the closed-ended word "must."
Eliminate the options that are comparable or alike and indicate that experiencing frustration
is necessary.
Review: Erikson’s theory of psychosocial development as it relates to the infant.

Question 2 pts
A nurse is weighing a breastfed 6-month-old infant who has been brought to the pediatrician's office
for a scheduled visit. The infant's weight at birth was 6 lb 8 oz (2.9 kg). The nurse notes that the
2
, infant now weighs 13 lb (5.9 kg). Which action should the nurse take?
Correct! Tell the mother that the infant's weight is increasing as expected
Tell the mother to decrease the daily number of feedings because the weight gain is excessive
Tell the mother that semisolid foods should not be introduced until the infant's weight stabilizes
Tell the mother that the infant should be switched from breast milk to formula because the weight gain is
inadequate
Rationale: Infants usually double their birth weight by 6 months and triple it by 1 year of age.
If the infant is 6 lb 8 oz (2.9 kg), at birth, a weight of 13 lb (5.9 kg) at 6 months of age is to be
expected. Semisolid foods are usually introduced between 4 and 6 months of age.
Test-Taking Strategy: Focus on the subject in the question, the current weight of the infant.
Recalling that infants double their weight by 6 months of age will direct you to the correct
option.
Review: The growth rate of an infant.
