2
The child is learning about gender roles.
3
The child is developing a sense of security.
4

4
A parent only allows the client to watch two hours of television each day.
5

ANSWER: 123
Activities that the nurse notes as potentially harmful include the client swimming
unsupervised in the pool, medications that are left within reach of the client, and a
parent telling the child that a vitamin is candy. Each of these findings increases the
child's risk for bodily harm necessitating the need for intervention. Two hours of
television is appropriate for a preschool-age client. A parent question asking the
client if he or she has ever been touched inappropriately at school is also
appropriate and does not place the child at risk for bodily harm.

opposite-sex peers, or an opposite-sex parent is not indicative of the end of these
complexes.

3

to the adolescents, which allow them to choose the treatment plan. The nurse
guides the parents to help their child achieve self-control and willpower during the
stage of autonomy versus shame and doubt. The nurse assists ill adults in choosing
creative ways to foster their social development during the generativity versus self-
absorption and stagnation stage.
