for severe gastroenteritis, the parent tells the nurse that a toddler

with the parent, the nurse explains that the child's behavior is most
likely the result of which factor?

a) expression of individuality
b) inherited personality trait
c) usual lack of interest in everything
d) beginning leadership skills - ANSWER -expression of individuality
Correct
Explanation:
The "no" behavior demonstrated by a toddler is typical of this age
group as the child attempts to be self-assertive as an individual. The
negativism does not demonstrate an inherited personality trait or
disinterest. Rather, it reflects the developmental task of establishing
autonomy. The toddler is attempting to exert control over the
environment

relationship?

a) The mother's fear that the staff do not respect her
b) The mother's feelings of loss of control over her child
c) Lack of knowledge about the child's illness and treatment
d) Communication barriers between the mother and staff - ANSWER -

members of the healthcare team and the mother.

,A parent of a toddler brings the child to the emergency department
because the child has accidentally been scalded by hot water spilling

b) for a circular pattern.
c) on the front of the body.
d) on the back of the body. - ANSWER -on the front of the body.

A 2-year-old child is brought to the emergency department with

When teaching a mother of a 17-month-old about toilet training, which
instruction would initially be most appropriate?

a) Remove the diaper and use training pants to begin the process.
b) Offer a reward every time the child has a bowel movement in the
potty chair.
c) Place the toddler on the potty chair every 2 hours for 10 minutes.
d) Be sure the child is ready before starting to toilet train. - ANSWER -
Be sure the child is ready before starting to toilet train.
Correct
Explanation:
All of the instructions are appropriate, but knowing whether the child
is ready to toilet train is initially most appropriate. Many 17-montholds
do not have the neuromuscular control to be able to be trained.
Waiting a few more months until the child is closer to age 2 years
allows the child to develop more control. The mother should be
taught the signs of readiness for toilet training.

liquid acetaminophen for fever. What would be the best option?
