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
Need to experience frustration, so it is best to allow an infant to cry for a
while before meeting his or her needs
Must have needs ignored for short periods to develop a healthy personality

Need to tolerate a great deal of frustration and discomfort to develop a
healthy personality
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

was 6 lb 8 oz (2.9 kg). The nurse notes that the infant now weighs 13 lb
(5.9 kg). Which action should the nurse take?
Tell the mother that semisolid foods should not be introduced until the
infant's weight stabilizes
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 the infant should be switched from breast milk to
formula because the weight gain is inadequate

, 12/30/21, 7:58 PM Session 4 Exam 1 - Developmental Stages and Transitions: NCLEX Remediation Course Nov 2021
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.
