Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a 2-year-old toddler. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Nontender, protruding abdomen. In toddlers, it is normal to have a nontender, protruding abdomen due to the physiological characteristics of their developing digestive system and musculature. This is because toddlers have less developed abdominal muscles and a larger liver in proportion to their body size, causing their abdomen to appear slightly distended. This finding is considered normal and does not typically indicate any underlying health issues. The other options are incorrect because: A: Head circumference exceeding chest circumference is not a typical finding in a 2-year-old toddler. C: Natural loss of deciduous teeth typically occurs around age 6-7, not in toddlers. D: Fontanels should be closed by 18 months, so palpable fontanels in a 2-year-old would be abnormal.
