A 38-year-old client comes into the clinic for a health examination.Knowing the psychosocial development tasks and common health problems for this age group,it would be most important for the nurse to ask:

A) Whether the client has episodes of feeling depressed
B) Whether the client practices safe sex
C) About the client's exercise habits
D) About the health history of the client's parents

Striving to be self-sufficient and successful and to establish a career and family are the tasks for this age.These tasks are demanding and can be emotionally difficult and potentially cause depression.Untreated depression is a leading cause of death among young adults.Sexually transmitted infections are a risk for this age group but are not as severe a threat as is depression.Exercise is important to overall health but is not a source of stress.There are genetic health problems that can impact the client,but the question is asking about psychosocial development and common health problems.
