Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Industry versus inferiority occurs between the ages of 6 and 12 years. It is during this developmental task that a person gains self-esteem through new skill mastery. Initiative versus guilt is for 3 to 6 years, focusing on increasing language skills with identification of feelings. Identity versus role confusion is 12 to 20 years, focusing on finding a sense of self. Autonomy versus shame and doubt is 1 to 3 years, focusing on becoming more independent.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
In assessing self-concept and self-esteem, first focus on each component of self-concept (identity, body image, and role performance). Self-concept is a psychological/emotional issue, not a physical issue for vital signs. Anxiety may be a stressors or a sign of low self-concept. Self-concept is not a moral issue.
