Rationale: The nurse should understand that this client's development was halted in the symbiotic phase of Mahler's developmental theory, which usually occurs between 1 and 5 months of age. The child has not entered into the separation-individuation phase of development, in which a child establishes the understanding of being separate from the mother.
