3-year-old girl with broken speech
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is interviewing a 3-year-old girl who tells the nurse: 'Want go potty.' The parents tell the nurse that their daughter often speaks in this type of broken speech. What would be the nurse's appropriate response to this concern?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: This is a normal common speech pattern in the 3-year-old and is called telegraphic speech. At the age of 3, children commonly exhibit telegraphic speech, which involves using short phrases or incomplete sentences to convey their message. This is a normal part of language development as they are still learning grammar and vocabulary. It is important for the nurse to reassure the parents that their daughter's speech pattern is age-appropriate and that it does not indicate any significant language delay or disorder.
Rationale for incorrect choices:
A: Echolalia is the repetition of words or phrases, often seen in autism spectrum disorders, and is not applicable in this scenario.
C: Stuttering involves disruptions in the flow of speech, such as repetitions or prolongations of sounds, and is not the case here.
D: Developmental delay would involve more significant language difficulties beyond telegraphic speech, warranting a speech therapist referral.
