A father brings his toddler to the clinic for well-child care. Which of the following would be most important for the nurse to assess?
a. How successful the child is with potty training
b. How the child acts when you enter the room
c. Whether the child is using eating utensils
d. Whether the home is childproof
D
Although all of these areas address important developmental tasks during the toddler period, safety is the highest priority at this age because the child has increased dexterity, mobility, and determination, and is becoming more independent. Potty training is typically accomplished between 18 months and 3 years of age but is not a safety concern. It would be normal for a child at this age to be afraid of strangers. The child should be using utensils for most foods, but again it is not a safety concern.
