Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
When there is inconsistent, overly harsh, or absent discipline in the home, it is difficult for a teenager to develop the independent sense of self needed to achieve a positive self-esteem.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Erikson's stages of development are assessed by chronological age, not task achievement. This client is in Erikson's stage of generativity versus stagnation because she is 40 years old. The student has failed to recognize that even though the client did not successfully achieve the intimacy task of the intimacy versus isolation stage, the client must now be assessed at the age-appropriate developmental stage of generativity versus stagnation.
