The nurse should expect a toddler to cope with the stress of a short period of separation from parents by displaying what?
a. Regression
b. Happiness
c. Detachment
d. Indifference
ANS: A
Children in the toddler stage demonstrate goal-directed behaviors when separated from parents for short periods. They may demonstrate displeasure on the parents' return or departure by having temper tantrums; refusing to comply with the usual routines of mealtime, bedtime, or toileting; or regressing to more primitive levels of development. Detachment would be seen with a prolonged absence of parents, not a short one. Toddlers would not be indifferent or happy when experiencing short separations from parents.
