A nurse is providing education to parents about readiness for toilet training in toddlers.
Which statement by the parents indicates that their child is likely ready for toilet
training?
A. "My child can walk forward but hasn't mastered walking backwards yet."
B. "My child still needs help pulling their pants up and down but is interested in the
toilet."
C. "My child has some accidents but is able to stay dry for an hour at a time."
D. "My child can walk backwards, is able to pull pants up and down, and seems
interested in using the toilet."
Rationale: Successful toilet training requires a combination of physical, neurological,
and behavioral readiness. Complete myelination of the spinal cord allows control over
the urinary and anal sphincters. A child should show signs of independence, such as
being able to walk backwards, pull pants up and down, and express interest in using the
toilet.
The nurse is educating a group of parents on drowning prevention strategies for
toddlers aged 1-4 years. Which statement by a parent indicates a need for further
teaching?
A. "We've installed a fence with a self-latching gate around our pool to prevent access
when no one is around."
B. "I will make sure my child always has a lifejacket on when we are in or near any body
of water, including at pools and lakes."
C. "As long as I'm within earshot, my child can play in the bathtub for a few minutes
alone since it's only a small amount of water."
D. "Even in shallow water, I will keep my child within arm's reach and provide constant
supervision."
Rationale: Children, particularly toddlers, can drown in even small amounts of water,
such as in a bathtub. Constant supervision is essential, as drowning can occur silently
and quickly. Parents should never leave children unattended in the bathtub, even for a
short period.
A nurse is assessing a 4-year-old child during a routine well-child visit. Which behavior
would the nurse expect to observe that aligns with Piaget's preoperational stage of
cognitive development?
A. The child shows understanding that other people may have different feelings or
,thoughts than they do.
B. The child demonstrates the ability to connect symbols or pictures with objects and
uses them in pretend play.
C. The child engages in logical reasoning when solving simple problems.
D. The child understands that objects remain the same even when they cannot see
them, which indicates an awareness of conservation.
Rationale: In Piaget's preoperational stage (ages 2-7), children begin to use symbols,
pictures, and objects to represent other things in imaginative play, such as using a block
to represent a car. This is typical of their emerging symbolic thought and aligns with
expected cognitive development for this stage.
The nurse is observing a toddler's behavior during a developmental assessment. Which
behavior would indicate that the child is successfully navigating Erikson's Autonomy vs.
Shame and Doubt stage?
A. The child consistently seeks parental help when trying new tasks to ensure they do it
correctly.
B. The child refuses to participate in routines and rituals, preferring unstructured play
over regular activities.
C. The child insists on attempting tasks independently, even if they struggle or make
mistakes, and may occasionally display frustration.
D. The child frequently asks permission to explore new areas and waits for approval
before moving away from their parent.
Rationale: In the Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt stage (ages 1-3), toddlers strive for
independence and often insist on doing tasks by themselves, even if they face difficulty.
This behavior, coupled with occasional frustration, is a sign that the child is building a
sense of autonomy, a critical developmental milestone for this age group.
