Summary
Erikson's theory of psychosocial development is about how humans develop a sense of self through stages. Nursing students use this guide to understand the stages and to learn how to do a physical assessment.
Psychosocial Development Stages
Psychosocial development is about how people balance needs for personal growth against demands from society. In the fifth stage, intimacy versus isolation, young adults seek long-term commitments with others. They want to blend their identities with friends and fit in.
Psychosexual Development
The genital stage is the fifth of Erikson's psychosexual development stages. It begins in puberty and lasts throughout adult life. It is about the psychologic detachment and independence from parents, and resolving remaining childhood conflicts.
Moral Development
In the fifth stage of moral development, people promote fundamental human rights and values. They follow agreements based on a social contract. Stage six involves making decisions based on universal ethical principles.
Physical Assessment
Nursing students do physical assessments on clients. They observe the skin, hair, nails, skull, face, eyes, ears, nose, lips, teeth, gums and tongue. They write down the normal and actual findings.
