The parents of a toddler plan to begin toilet training. Which instruction should the nurse provide to the parents at this time?
A) Toilet training is a 12-month process.
B) Bowel training is easier than urine training.
C) All children should be toilet trained by age 2 years.
D) Children can remain dry during the night before they can do so during the day.
B
Feedback:
Training should begin with defecation training because this is an easier concept for the child to grasp. There is no time limit regarding the amount of time it takes to toilet train a toddler. Even though theoretically a child can begin toilet training once able to walk, the child needs to reach specific milestones before being able to successfully toilet train. Children are more likely to remain dry during the day than during the night.
