The mother of several children is amazed that the youngest male child achieved toilet training much earlier than the other children. What should the nurse explain as the reason for this early development?
A) "He has exceptional intelligence.".
B) "He learned by watching your other children.".
C) "He needs testing because he is developing too quickly.".
D) "He most likely will wet the bed for many years to come.".
B
Feedback:
Children learn by watching other children so a youngest child who has many examples to watch may excel in skills such as toilet training. The child did not become toilet trained early because of exceptional intelligence. The child is not developing too quickly. There is no way for the nurse to know if the child will wet the bed.
