The nurse is assessing several children in a pediatric clinic. Which child is experiencing a development delay?
1. The 6-year-old child has lost two deciduous teeth.
2. The 26-month-old child has one baby tooth.
3. The 4-month-old infant is drooling.
4. The 2-month-old infant's salivary glands are not producing saliva.
Correct Answer: 2
Deciduous (baby) teeth begin to erupt between 6 months and 2 years of age. A 26-month-old child might be expected to have more than one deciduous tooth. Eruption of permanent teeth begins at around age 6 and continues through adolescence. Drooling of saliva occurs for several months after saliva is produced (3 months old) until swallowing saliva is learned. Salivation begins at 3 months of age.
