Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The nurse should identify that an appropriate developmental task for a 47-year-old client would be to achieve established life goals and consider the welfare of future generations. According to Erikson, the client would be in the generativity versus stagnation stage of development.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C
