According to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory, which item is
considered a physiological need? Select all that apply. One, some, or all
responses may be correct.
Some correct answers were not selected
Sex
Food
, Sleep
Water
Oxygen
Rationale
According to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory, needs are placed conceptually on a
pyramid, with the most basic and important needs on the lower level. The lowest level
is physiological needs, which are the most basic needs, including the need for sex,
food, sleep, water, oxygen, and a constant body temperature.
p. 22
Which stage of Freud’s psychosexual development would the nurse
expect for a healthy 6-year-old child?
Oral
Anal
Phallic
Latency
Rationale
Freud proposed five psychosexual stages of development. The phallic stage is observed
in a 6-year-old child. During this stage, the child identifies with the parent of the same
sex and develops superego. The oral stage is observed in an infant from birth to 1.5
years of age. The anal stage is observed in a child who is between 1 and 3 years of age.
The latency stage is observed in a child who is between 6 and 12 years of age.

Which function associated with patient care do the various psychological
th i f lfill? S l t ll th t l O ll
,theories fulfill? Select all that apply. One, some, or all responses may
be correct.
Improving the patient's symptoms
Increasing the patient's dependence
Improving the patient's coping skills
Helping the patient ignore the problem
Helping the patient realize the situation
Rationale
Learning about psychological theories can help in improving patient symptoms by
focusing on goal-centered psychological therapy. Psychological theories provide an
understanding that can be used in improving the patient's coping skills during therapy
sessions. With the knowledge of theories, it becomes easy to help the patient realize
the existing situation in his or her life. Increasing the patient's dependence is not the
aim of learning psychological theories; the nursing objective is to make the patient
independent. Ignoring the existing problem is not a solution; instead theories help the
patient realize the situation and cope with it.
pp. 26, 27
Which intervention would the nurse include in the plan of care to help a
young adolescent achieve a developmental task?
Establishing trust
Gaining autonomy
Achieving identity
Developing a sense of industry
, Rationale
According to Erikson, the task of adolescence is to achieve identity rather than to be
left in role confusion. A sense of identity is essential to making the transition to
adulthood. The task of establishing trust is for infancy. The task of gaining autonomy is
the task slated for early childhood. School-age children are tasked with developing a
sense of industry.
p. 21
Which initial short-term outcome is best for a young child
demonstrating disrespectful behavior toward adults and frequent
temper tantrums related to the impending divorce of the child's
parents?
Shows respect for authority figures
Engages in cooperative play with other children
Describes feelings about pending family changes
Identifies which parent he or she wants to live with after the divorce
Rationale
According to Erikson, initiative versus guilt is the psychosocial crisis of this
developmental group. The aggression suggests that the child fears the conflict and is
at risk for a sense of inadequacy or guilt. The first step is for the child to share feelings
about the pending family changes; later, outcomes will be targeted more toward the
tantrums and disrespect. Although cooperative play with other children is desirable, it
does not address the etiology of the child's problem. This child is too young to select a
custodial parent.

for adult patients in a therapeutic milieu?
