The home health nurse is visiting a family at home when the toddler has an accident and has a bowel movement in his diaper. The mother becomes angry with the child and calls him a baby for messing himself.
 
  The nurse considers Erikson's theory and recognizes that the mother's behavior may have an effect on the child's: 1. Cognitive development.
  2. Sense of independence.
  3. Conscience.
  4. Development of superego.
