D

Feedback
A Accepting one's limitations is not consistent with a disturbance in the integrity stage of psychosocial development.
B Verbalizing fear about the surgery is not consistent with a disturbance in the integrity stage of psychosocial development.
C Expressing thoughts about one's care is not consistent with a disturbance in the integrity stage of psychosocial development.
D Being angry, being excessively dependent, and having a passive attitude are all behaviours suggestive of an altered self-concept. The older client, who has lost a spouse and is now demanding excessive assistance from a child, is demonstrating an alteration in the integrity stage of his psychosocial development.
