ATI NCLEX-RN Practice Questions Practice Question

A mother came to the pediatric clinic with her 17-month-old child. The mother would like to begin toilet training. What should the nurse teach her about implementing toilet training?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Giving her toys will distract her and interfere with toilet training because of inappropriate reinforcement. A child-sized toilet seat or training potty gives a child a feeling of security. She should use words that are age appropriate for the child. Children should be praised for cooperative behavior and/or successful evacuation.
