H.Psychosocial Assessment
Patients age: 40 years old
Developmental stage: adulthood
Developmental task: generativity vs. stagnation
During middle adulthood (ages 40 to 65 yrs), we establish
our careers, settle down within a relationship, begin our own
families and develop a sense of being a part of the bigger picture.
We give back to society through raising our children, being
productive at work, and becoming involved in community
activities and organizations. By failing to achieve these objectives,
we become stagnant and feel unproductive. Success in this stage
will lead to the virtue of care.
Patient was able to achieve this stage. Before she got pregnant
she had a job in the government. She has good relationship with
her daughter. She develops the virtue of care as she establishes it
to her daughters. Although shes having problems with her
