When implementing Freud's theory of human psychosexual development, the nurse ob-serves for behaviors that are characteristic of successful completion of stages that include (select all that apply):
 
  a. Anal, where self-confidence is formed
  b. Oral, where the ability to trust is developed
  c. Latency, where a person learns inner control
  d. Adjustment, where developmental failures are re-addressed
  e. Phallic, where the ability to interact with others is grounded

Question 2

A psychiatric technician mentions to the nurse, All these patients with Axis II problems It makes me wonder how so many mothers could have been such poor parents and messed up their kids so badly
 
  The response by the nurse that helps put the development of personality disorders into perspective is:
  a. Parenting is the responsibility of fathers, too, so don't blame only mothers.
  b. Personality disorder is often related to sexual abuse that occurs without parental knowledge.
  c. There is some evidence to suggest a biologic component to personality disor-ders.
  d. Peer interactions may be more important in child development than parental in-volvement.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, E
Freud's stages of psychosexual development include in order of completion: oral, anal, phal-lic, latency, and genital. There is no adjustment stage in Freud's theory.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Tests show that schizotypal and schizoid disorders may reflect neurointegrative or neuro-chemical dysfunction and that affective dysregulation found in a number of personality dis-orders may be a function of serotonin abnormalities and may be implicated in impulsivity, aggression, and suicidal tendencies. The other options are either untrue or unhelpful.
