After assessing a 10-year-old girl, the nurse documents the appearance of breast buds, identifying this as what body change?

A. Controls impulsive feelings: Preschoolers are still developing their ability to control impulses. While they may begin to understand the concept of rules and consequences, complete control over impulsive feelings is not typically expected at this stage.

B. Expresses need for privacy: Preschoolers may begin to show a growing awareness of privacy but may not consistently express this need or fully understand its implications. This is more commonly seen in older children and adolescents.

C. Builds a collection of cards: Building a collection of cards is not a typical developmental task for preschoolers. While they may engage in collecting objects, the items they collect are often related to their interests and may vary widely.

D. Participates in imaginary play: Imaginary play is a significant aspect of preschoolers' development. They often engage in make-believe scenarios, role-playing, and using objects symbolically to represent other objects. This type of play fosters creativity, social skills, and cognitive development in preschool-aged children.

B. Trust vs. mistrust: This is the first stage, occurring from birth to approximately 18 months of age, where infants learn to trust or mistrust their caregivers and the world based on

whether or not their basic needs—such as food, affection, and safety—are met.

E. Autonomy vs. shame and doubt: The second stage, from roughly 18 months to 3 years, is when toddlers begin to assert their independence. If caregivers encourage self-sufficient behavior, toddlers learn to be autonomous; if not, they may develop feelings of shame and doubt about their abilities.

C. Initiative vs. guilt: During the preschool years, from about 3 to 6 years, children begin to assert power and control over their world through directing play and other social interactions.

Successful completion of this stage leads to a sense of initiative, while failure results in feelings of guilt.

A. Industry vs. inferiority: Occurring from age 6 to puberty, this stage is characterized by the child's navigation of social demands and learning to develop a sense of pride in their accomplishments and abilities. If this stage is managed well, the child will feel industrious; if not, they may feel inferior.

D. Identity vs. role confusion: The final stage in Erikson's model for adolescence, from puberty to young adulthood, involves developing a sense of self and personal identity. Success leads to an ability to stay true to oneself, while failure leads to role confusion and a weak sense of self.
