The nurse assesses a 12-year-old. Which finding reflects achievement of Erikson's stage of industry vs. inferiority in the school-aged child?

A. Has frequent tantrums when losing: Frequent tantrums reflect poor emotional regulation and difficulty coping with failure, which is more characteristic of earlier developmental stages. In Erikson’s stage of industry vs. inferiority, children are expected to develop resilience and learn to handle success and failure constructively. B. Refuses to attempt new tasks: Avoidance of new tasks indicates fear of failure and low self-confidence, which aligns with a sense of inferiority. Children in this stage should be developing competence by trying new skills and gaining a sense of accomplishment through effort and practice. C. Competes successfully on a soccer team with fellow peers: Successful participation in team activities demonstrates competence, cooperation, and skill development, which are key features of the industry stage. Engaging with peers and achieving goals fosters confidence and a sense of productivity, reflecting healthy psychosocial development. D. Prefers to play alone in room: Preference for solitary play may indicate limited social interaction and reduced opportunity to develop teamwork and social competence. During this stage, children benefit from peer interaction, collaboration, and shared achievements that build a sense of industry.
