A nurse is caring for an adolescent client who reports they are beginning to rebel against their caregivers and spend more time with their friends.
The nurse should identify that the client is experiencing which of the following stages of Erikson's theory of psychosocial development?

Choice A rationale:

Holding the tip of the syringe at least 1.3 cm (0.5 in) above the wound while irrigating is not the best practice for wound irrigation. It's crucial to maintain a close distance to the wound to ensure that the irrigation solution effectively cleans the area.

Choice B rationale:

Chilling the irrigant prior to the procedure is not necessary and could be uncomfortable for the patient. Room temperature or slightly warmed sterile saline solution is typically used for wound irrigation to prevent temperature-related discomfort.

Choice C rationale:

Flushing the wound from the most contaminated area to the cleanest area is an incorrect approach for wound irrigation. The wound should be irrigated from the cleanest to the most contaminatedto prevent contamination of previously clean areas and ensures thorough cleaning of the wound.

Choice D rationale:

Irrigating the wound until the solution that is draining is clear is a common practice for wound irrigation. It indicates that the wound is free of contaminants, debris, and infectious material.

Choice A rationale:

Fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and tender points. It is not an example of acute pain. Acute pain typically has a sudden onset and is of limited duration.

Choice B rationale:

Peripheral neuropathy. Peripheral neuropathy can cause both acute and chronic pain, depending on the underlying cause. However, it is not a classic example of acute pain. Acute pain is usually associated with a specific injury or condition and has a sudden onset.

Choice C rationale:

Rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic autoimmune condition that can cause joint pain and inflammation. While it can have acute flares of pain, it is primarily considered a chronic condition. Acute pain typically results from injuries or conditions with a sudden onset.

Choice D rationale:

Surgical incision. This is the correct answer. A surgical incision represents a classic example of acute pain. It is a pain that results from a specific event, in this case, surgery, and typically has a well-defined onset and duration. Acute pain is often sharp and intense, and it resolves as the incision heals.
