10 Growth & Development – Toddlers NCLEX Questions

Question 1 of 10

A nurse is caring for an 18-month-old. The parent expresses worry because the child still seems a little clumsy and seems to fall a lot. Which of the following statements by the nurse is accurate regarding toddler development?

“It’s okay that the child is clumsy at the age of 18 months”

“We don’t expect a child to be too agile until the preschool years”

“At this age, a child should be able to running and stop quite easily”

“Your child should be able to hop on one foot”

Question 2 of 10

Which age group would include activities such as building block towers that are 7-8 blocks high, playing with other children, and beginning toilet training?

Toddler (12-36 months)

Infancy (birth-12 months)

School Age (6-12 years)

Preschool (36 months-6 years)

Question 3 of 10

The parents of a 3-year-old child are having him evaluated because of poor growth and development. After testing, the provider diagnoses the child with growth hormone deficiency. Which statement from the nurse is most appropriate when teaching this family?

He will need surgery to repair the pituitary gland and then he should catch up in growth over time

I'm sorry, he will always be much smaller than other people

The child will need to take growth hormone injections until he is mostly caught up in growth, but it will take time.

I know he is small now, but we will help you organize a diet that will help him to catch up with his peers

Question 4 of 10

At what age does a child develop gender identity?

6 years of age

3 years of age

5 years of age

12 months of age

Question 5 of 10

While educating the parents of a 14-month-old about healthy eating and how to prevent iron deficiency, the nurse includes which of the following information? Select all that apply.

If your toddler is a picky eater, offering iron-fortified cereal is a good way to keep their iron levels up

Beans are an excellent source of iron and a great finger food for toddlers

If your child is refusing to eat iron rich foods, you should establish rules and keep them at the table until they eat them

Offering too much milk can make it difficult for the body to store iron. So try to limit their milk intake to 24-30 oz a day

Offering multiple small meals a day is a great way to help busy toddlers get the nutrients they need

Question 6 of 10

A nurse is caring for a family who has an 18-month-old child. The parents are concerned and tell the nurse that their child does not know how to run or kick a ball. Which of the following responses from the nurse is most appropriate?

I will call the developmental pediatrician for a referral

We will need to get a physical therapist involved in the case, because the child should be able to do this by now

Continue to work on walking and by the time the child is 2, you are more likely to see these things

This is not abnormal. Children usually cannot run or kick until they are 3 years old

Question 7 of 10

The parent of a two-year-old asks questions about toilet training and when to start the process. The nurse begins to teach the parent about readiness signs and includes which of the following? Select all that apply.

Wait until the child is dry overnight

The child is able to wipe their bottom

The child shows interest in toilet training

The child is verbalizing when they are peeing or pooping

The child remains dry during a nap or for two hours during the day

Socializing the children

Maintaining intergenerational family ties

Focusing on career issues

Establishing identity as a couple

The child should be allowed to choose which arm the IV will be placed

The nurse should explain the procedure and allow the child to play with the medical equipment

The nurse should ask the parents to leave the room

The nurse should keep scary objects out of sight until the last moment

Transcript

Hey Guys! I’m glad you are joining me for these lessons on growth and development. Let’s get started and talk through what to expect for Toddlers.

Our toddler patients are ages 1-3. Pretty much what’s happening during this phase is refining all of basic skills. In the next phase- preschoolers, you see them get close to perfecting these basic skills but for toddlers there’s still a lot of struggle. Which is part of the reason we get the lovely phase called terrible twos. They want to do everything on their own but really can’t. So there are a lot of opportunities for injury and frustration.
Growth slows a lot compared to infancy. And because of this caloric needs are a lot less than they were for infants which is a relief for parents who are struggling with picky eaters. On average they gain 4-6 lbs a year and grow 3 inches a year. Heads are still large compared to body size.

Motor skills really come on during this phase- but again a lot of it is still pretty clumsy. They learn to run but can’t stop very easily. They can go up and down stairs but do it two feet at a time.

Fine motor skills develop from stacking blocks to holding a pen and being able to copy a circle.

Language development is probably the most exciting thing happening for toddlers. Their comprehension really explodes and they begin to be able to express themselves and ask for things they need. For milestones you are looking for them to know and use 300 words by the age of 2 and they should also be able link words together.

From a nursing point of view- keep in mind that they understand a lot more than they may let on so it’s important to be kinda careful about what you say in front of the child. So sometimes this means telling a parent about the procedure away from the child.

Remember, toddlers want to do everything on their own. Erikson describes this as Autonomy vs Shame and Doubt. Basically, they need to be able to try things on their own and then be helped and encouraged to succeed. It’s this drive for autonomy that gives us the “terrible twos”. Eating, dressing and toilet training are the 3 most obvious tasks they want to accomplish and they can become battle zones for parents.

Toddlers engage in parallel play. Where they play alongside other children but don’t really interact. And they love symbolic play where they mimic everyday actions they see around the house like talking on the phone or serving dinner.

My biggest piece of advice for working with toddlers is to avoid giving them the opportunity to say “No”! We all know they love that word! And if you walk in their room and say “Can I take your temperature?” they are 100% going to say “No!” and then you are stuck. So instead, try “I need to see how warm you are and to put this little red light on your finger. Which one should I do first?”. They may still run away and yell “No!”, but at least you tried!

Okay so- toddlers have kind of a bad reputation right? But this is for a reason. The little quiet baby has grown into an opinionated, fast moving little person who can’t quite communicate how they are feeling. So, like I mentioned earlier frustrations can be high. Because of this there are a lot of opportunities to educate parents about parenting. And honestly, this can feel super awkward. There are a million ways to parent so how can we possible give advice? Well there are some basic tips that are always a safe bet to recommend and they are all about positive parenting, boundary setting and minimizing opportunities for misbehavior. I’ve simplified them and they are outlined in the patient education section of this lesson!

Other topics that nurses may be asked to provide education on are toilet training, injury prevention and picky eating and you’ll find more detailed information about these topics in the outline as well.

A couple of things I want to highlight though- For toilet training, during the toddler years we only expect children to be dry by day. Nighttime dryness may not occur until 5 years of age. Also, with the change in routines toddlers are at increased risk for becoming constipated.

For nutrition during toddler years – it’s not uncommon for toddlers to have diets that are pretty poor in nutrients. Vitamins help, but don’t fix everything. One very common deficiency is iron which can result in tired, pale and anemic toddlers who need a supplement.

Again check out the outline and notes for more on all of this!

Your priority nursing concepts for this content are human development, patient centered care and health promotion.
Okay guys – that’s it for our very busy and fiesty toddlers! They are at a slightly lower risk that our infants because growth has slowed down and they are less dependent, but they still have a lot going on! Your three key points to take away from this lesson are 1) Toddlers want autonomy. Self-care, nutrition, toilet training – they want to do it all themselves and most of your education points stem from this. Number 2) Their language development is exciting and by far the most rapid area of development for toddlers. Number 3) Safety is still a big concern. So make sure you can educate parents on preventing falls, drowning, poisoning and burns.

That’s it for our lesson on growth and development during toddlerhood. Make sure you checkout all the resources attached to this lesson. Now, go out and be your best self today. Happy Nursing!
