Feedback
A Although it is appropriate to give parents of a 15-month-old child toilet training
guidelines, the child is not usually ready for toilet training, so it is not the priority
teaching intervention.
B Parents of a 15-month-old child should have been advised to beginning weaning
from the breast or bottle at 6 to 12 months of age.
C Educating a parent about preschool readiness is important and can occur later in
the parents' educational process. The priority teaching intervention for the
parents of a 15-month-old child is the importance of a safe environment.
D Accidents are the major cause of death in children, including deaths caused by
ingestion of poisonous materials. Home and environmental safety assessments
are priorities in this age-group because of toddlers' increased motor skills and
independence, which puts them at greater risk in an unsafe environment.
