A nurse is planning care for a 10-year-old child who will be hospitalized for an extended period of time. Which of the following actions should the nurse include in the plan of care to meet the client's psychosocial needs according to Erikson's theory of psychosocial development?

A. Allowing the child to make decisions about their care helps foster autonomy, which is important in the stage of development described by Erikson for children at this age. B. While a structured routine is helpful, fostering a sense of independence and decision-making is key to promoting development at this stage. C. Expressing feelings through creative activities is beneficial but does not address the developmental need for independence and autonomy. D. Engaging with other children is important for social development, but allowing the child to have some control over their care is essential for psychosocial growth.
