An emergency room nurse is being occupationally shadowed by a 17-year-old male high school student who has also shadowed a computer programmer and a radio disc jockey because they seem to be cool' jobs.
 
   The student brags about having had at least a dozen different girlfriends and asks the nurse for a referral to local mental health counselors for a friend. Based on Marcia's (1994) categories of style used by adolescents to resolve issues of identity, the nurse understands that this student is in: a. foreclosure
  b. moratorium
  c. identity achievement
  d. identity diffusion

Question 2

A pediatric nurse volunteers at a wilderness adventure summer camp for middle and high school age children.
 
  The nurse bases her interactions and responses to these campers on the knowledge that during this developmental stage these campers are MOST likely to be developing: a. trust
  b. autonomy
  c. initiative
  d. identity

Answer to Question 1

D
The nurse would understand that the student is in identity diffusion. Identify diffusion refers to avoiding making commitments and may indicate a need for mental health services. The fact that student who is shadowing the nurse, has had several girlfriends, and is unsure of his career choice indicate that he may be socially skilled but unable to reach his intellectual or physical potential.

Answer to Question 2

D
The summer camp students from middle and high school age are in Erikson's stage of identity versus role confusion. The nurse would therefore base interactions and responses on an understanding of normal developmental tasks to be accomplished at this stage. The major task would be development of their own identity or sense of self.
