A nurse is caring for a 29-year-old patient who is struggling with depression. During their visit, the patient expressed concern about not yet being married and feeling she is running out of time to have children. The patient states that her family is putting her under a lot of pressure to “start a family.” The patient is also struggling to decide if moving to a new city is the right choice. Explain the developmental stage this patient is experiencing based on Neugarten’s and Levinson’s theories.
