Answer to Question 1

A
The genital-locomotor stage (preschool years) is characterized by exploration of the environment, cooperative play, fantasy, and imitation of adults. Initiative and guilt are core tasks of this stage. The latency stage occurs during the school-age years (6 to 12 years old), the oral-sensory stage occurs from birth to 1 year of age, and the anal-muscular stage occurs during early childhood.

Answer to Question 2

A
The incidence of falls increases when narcotic analgesics are used in the elderly. Safety is always a nurse's first priority. Medication does not place the patient at great risk for the distracters.
