A nurse is triaging clients in an urgent care clinic. Which of the following clients should the nurse have the provider care for immediately?

A. Trust vs. mistrust is the first stage of Erikson's psychosocial development, occurring from birth to approximately 18 months. During this stage, infants learn to trust their caregivers to meet their needs, leading to a sense of security.

B. Autonomy vs. shame and doubt is the second stage, occurring from approximately 18 months to 3 years. In this stage, toddlers learn to assert their independence by making choices and exercising self-control. Success leads to autonomy, while failure results in feelings of shame and doubt.

C. Initiative vs. guilt is the third stage, occurring from approximately 3 to 6 years. During this stage, children begin to take initiative in their activities, planning, and decision-making. Success in this stage leads to a sense of purpose, while failure can result in guilt over initiative taken.

D. Industry vs. inferiority is the fourth stage, occurring from approximately 6 to 12 years. In this stage, children develop a sense of industry by mastering tasks, succeeding in school, and receiving recognition. Failure to achieve this sense of industry can lead to feelings of inferiority.

E. Identity vs. role confusion is the fifth stage, occurring during adolescence. During this stage, individuals explore their personal identity, values, and beliefs. Success in this stage leads to a strong sense of identity, while failure results in role confusion and uncertainty about one’s place in society.

A. The maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein (MSAFP) test does not identify Rh incompatibility. Rh incompatibility is typically evaluated through blood typing and antibody screening, not through the MSAFP test.
B. While the MSAFP test is related to fetal development, it does not assess various markers of fetal well-being. Instead, it measures the level of alpha-fetoprotein in the maternal blood, which is specifically associated with neural tube defects.
C. The MSAFP test is primarily used as a screening tool for neural tube defects, such as spina bifida, in the fetus. Elevated levels of alpha-fetoprotein can indicate spinal defects or other fetal abnormalities.
D. The MSAFP test does not assess fetal lung maturity. Fetal lung maturity is usually determined later in pregnancy through other tests, such as amniocentesis, which evaluates surfactant levels in the amniotic fluid.
