The mother of a 2-year-old child tells the nurse that she is constantly scolding the child for having wet pants. The child was toilet trained at 12 months, but since walking, the child wets all of the time
Which nursing diagnosis should the nurse use guide instruction for the mother? A) Total urinary incontinence related to delayed toilet training
B) Excess fluid volume related to inability to control urination
C) Ineffective coping related to lack of self-control of 2-year-old
D) Deficient parental knowledge related to inappropriate method for toilet training
D
Feedback:
The mother is having difficulty understanding the principles of toilet training. The diagnosis of deficient parental knowledge about toilet training is the most appropriate for the nurse to use to guide instruction for the mother. The child is not experiencing total urinary incontinence. The child does not have an excess in fluid volume. The mother is not demonstrating ineffective coping.
