C) The toddler's anterior fontanel is not fully closed.
D) The circumference of the child's head increased 1 inch
since last year. Ans: C

circumference increases about 1 inch from when the child is between 1 and
2 years of age, then increases an average of a half-inch per year until age 5.

months.
B) Alveoli reach adult numbers by 3 years of age.
C) Urine output in a toddler typically averages approximately 30 mL/hour.

Feedback:
Myelinization of the brain and spinal cord continues to progress and is
complete around 24 months of age. Alveoli reach adult numbers usually
around the age of 7. Urine output in a toddler typically averages 1
mL/kg/hour. Abdominal musculature in a toddler is weak, resulting in a pot-
bellied appearance.

3. The nurse is teaching the parents of a 2-year-old toddler methods of
dealing with their child's 'negativism.' Based on Erickson's theory of
development, what would be an appropriate intervention for this child?
A) Discourage solitary play; encourage playing with other children.
B) Encourage the child to pick out his own clothes.
C) Use 'time-outs' whenever the child says 'no' inappropriately.
D) Encourage the child to take turns when
playing games. Ans: B
Feedback:
Erikson defines the toddler period as a time of autonomy versus shame and
doubt. It is a time of exerting independence. Allowing the child to choose his
own clothes helps him to assert his independence. Negativism and always
saying "no" is a normal part of healthy

, development and is occurring as a result of the toddler's attempt to assert
his or her independence. It should not be punished with 'time-outs.' The
toddler should be encouraged to play alone and with other children.
Toddlers cannot take turns in games until age 3.
