Answer to Question 1

B
According to Erikson, the young adult is in the intimacy versus isolation stage of development. This is the time in which the young adult can become fully participative in the community, en-joying adult freedom and responsibility.
Coping with physical and social losses is found in Erikson's integrity versus despair stage (old age) of development.
Applying oneself to learning productive skills is consistent behaviour found in Erikson's industry versus inferiority stage (ages 6 to 11 years) of development.
According to Erikson, overcoming a sense of guilt or frustration takes place in the initiative ver-sus guilt stage (ages 3 to 6 years) of development.

Answer to Question 2

C
Clients are better prepared to handle almost any situation when they understand it, including the experience of pain.
The nurse knows that catheterization can be unpleasant and uncomfortable. This is not the best rationale.
The statement, It shows the client that the nurse has performed a catheterization before only says that the nurse understands how a catheterization might feel, not necessarily that he or she has performed one before. This is not the best rationale.
The nurse needs to explain procedures and associated discomfort as well as how the nurse and the client can help make the experience less painful.
