Answer and Explanation:

It is very important to explain to the parents of the child that a viral conjunctivitis is one that usually presents accompanied by flu symptoms and that since it is viral it does not need to take any antibiotic at the moment, it is very important to educate on the safety of antibiotics to avoid resistance.The parents and the child should also be instructed to avoid scratching the eye and with dirty hands they give them to someone else to avoid contagion.

It is necessary to prevent the child who has conjunctivitis from sharing towels or handkerchiefs with someone else. All bedding or towels that have had contact with the child's eye should be washed separately.

Cold water compresses can be applied to each eye of the child to avoid symptoms.

In case the symptoms are very strong, anti-inflammatories can be used under medical supervision.

This is a disease that can last even two weeks so it is very important to warn parents that it is not something that is solved immediately, but maintaining the correct hygiene measures nothing serious will happen.

It should be explained that viral conjunctivitis can continue to be transmitted as long as the secretion and redness present in the eye is maintained, so it is very important to take the measures described above.

According to Freud, a person who is very controlling of their possessions may be stuck in the _____ stage of development.
Serjik [45]

Answer:

The answer is - AnaI stage

Explanation:

Sigmund Freud is the founder of psychoanalysis. He developed the Psychosexual theory of development which proposes that the psychological development of a child occurs during each psychosexual stages which include; Oral, AnaI, Phallic, Latency and Genital, and that these stages are related each to a different physical center of pleasure.  

During this stage, the child derives pleasure in defecating as the pleasure is now focused on the anus. The child's ego is now developed and they are now aware of their own rights. They can also be stubborn and tight-fisted and controlling with their possessions. As the child grows they might get stuck at this stage of development if not looked into.
