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.)

A. Rickets: Rickets is a condition caused by a deficiency of vitamin D, calcium, or phosphate, leading to softening and weakening of the bones. While milk is a good source of vitamin D and calcium, excessive consumption of milk alone may not necessarily lead to rickets unless the child has inadequate exposure to sunlight or a diet lacking in other essential nutrients.

B. Iron deficiency anemia: This is the correct choice. Excessive consumption of milk, particularly if it replaces solid foods in the diet, can lead to iron deficiency anemia in toddlers. Cow's milk is low in iron and can inhibit iron absorption from other foods, leading to iron deficiency over time. Iron deficiency anemia can result in fatigue, weakness, developmental delays, and impaired cognitive function in young children.

C. Obesity: While excessive milk consumption can contribute to excessive calorie intake, leading to weight gain and potentially obesity, the scenario describes a toddler with a poor appetite for solid foods. Therefore, the primary concern in this case is not obesity but rather the risk of nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron deficiency anemia.

D. Diabetes mellitus: Excessive milk consumption alone is not a direct risk factor for diabetes mellitus in toddlers. However, a diet high in refined sugars and excessive calorie intake, including from milk, can contribute to the development of obesity and insulin resistance, increasing the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus later in life. However, the primary concern in this scenario is the risk of nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron deficiency anemia, rather than diabetes mellitus.

A. Providing support for family and friends following a suicide:

Providing support for family and friends following a suicide is an example of a tertiary intervention. Tertiary interventions focus on providing support, counseling, and resources to individuals affected by suicide after the event has occurred, aiming to prevent further emotional distress, promote healing, and reduce the risk of additional suicides in the community.

B. Recognizing the warning signs of suicide:

Recognizing the warning signs of suicide is an example of a primary intervention. Primary interventions aim to prevent suicide by identifying individuals at risk and intervening before a suicide attempt occurs. Educating healthcare professionals and the community about the warning signs of suicide is crucial for early identification and intervention.

C. Performing life-saving measures following a suicide attempt:

This is an example of a secondary intervention. Secondary interventions involve actions taken after the occurrence of a suicide attempt or completed suicide to prevent further harm or loss of life. Performing life-saving measures, such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) or providing emergency medical care, falls under secondary interventions because it occurs after the suicide attempt to mitigate the immediate physical consequences.

D. Identifying individuals who are at higher risk for attempting suicide:

Identifying individuals who are at higher risk for attempting suicide is also an example of a primary intervention. This involves screening, assessment, and risk evaluation to identify individuals with risk factors and warning signs of suicide, allowing for targeted interventions, support, and prevention strategies to be implemented before a suicide attempt occurs.
