    A nurse has accepted a position on a pediatric unit and is learning about psychosocial development. Place Erikson's stages of psychosocial development in order from birth to adolescence. (Move the steps into the box on the right, placing them in the selected order of performance. Use all the steps.)

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Identity vs. role confusion: This stage occurs during adolescence and focuses on developing a personal identity and sense of self. Failure to achieve this leads to confusion about one’s role in society. B. Initiative vs. guilt: Typical of preschool-aged children, this stage involves asserting power and control through directing play and social interactions. Successful initiative builds confidence; failure leads to guilt. C. Autonomy vs. shame and doubt: Occurs in toddlerhood when children develop personal control over physical skills and independence. Success leads to autonomy; failure results in feelings of shame and doubt. D. Trust vs. mistrust: The first stage, occurring from birth to about 18 months, where infants learn to trust caregivers to meet their needs. Consistent care builds trust; inconsistency leads to mistrust. E. Industry vs. inferiority: School-age children focus on mastering skills and gaining competence. Positive feedback leads to a sense of industry; repeated failure results in feelings of inferiority.
