Answer to Question 1

B

Feedback
A Incorrect. By the latency stage, the id is more under control, and the child does not struggle with antisocial thoughts and deeds.
B Correct. During the latency stage, sexual drives are submerged, appropriate gender roles are adopted, and the Oedipal or Electra conflicts are resolved. The child increasingly identifies with the same-sex parent and has intense involvement with same-sex peers.
C Incorrect. During the phallic stage, energies are directed toward sexual thoughts and curiosity about opposite-sex parent and peers.
D Incorrect. The superego has developed sufficiently to keep the id under control, and children rapidly learn about society and themselves while learning useful skills.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedings are initiated early after birth. Blood glucose levels are monitored closely. The vital signs and condition of the infant are monitored closely, more than once per shift.
