ATI Nsg 234 Pediatrics Exam Questions
Extract:
A nurse is speaking to the parent of a 22-month-old child who states the child says 'no' to everything. When scolded, the toddler becomes angry and starts crying loudly, then later wants to be held.
Question 1 of 5
How should the nurse best interpret this toddler's behavior?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: This is normal behavior for a two-year-old child.
Toddlers often exhibit temper tantrums and emotional outbursts as a part of their development. This behavior is a result of their limited ability to communicate effectively and regulate their emotions. It is important for the nurse to recognize this as a normal stage of development and provide appropriate support and guidance to the child and caregivers.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they assume pathology or neglect without considering the normal developmental stage of a two-year-old child. It is crucial for healthcare providers to have a good understanding of child development to accurately interpret and respond to children's behaviors.
