The nurse is determining a toddler's language development. What is an expected finding for language development in a 2-year-old?
A) Able to count out loud to 20
B) Speaks 20 nouns and 4 pronouns
C) Speaks two words plus "ma-ma" and "da-da"
D) Speaks in two-word sentences using a noun and a verb
D
Feedback:
A 2-year-old child should be speaking in simple two-word sentences using a noun and a verb. Any 2-year-old child who does not talk in two-word, noun–verb simple sentences needs a careful assessment to determine the cause because this is beyond a point of normal development. Counting is not an expectation for a 2-year-old child. The child will not be able to speak 20 nouns and 4 pronouns.
