2024 PN NCLEX Questions Nursing Practice Question
The mother of a toddler asks the nurse when she will know that her child is ready to start toilet training. The nurse tells the mother that which observation is a sign of physical readiness?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Toilet training readiness is closely linked to a child's ability to manage their clothing, which is essential for independent toileting. Option B, where the child can remove their own clothing, indicates physical readiness and self-sufficiency necessary for successful toilet training.
Option A, the absence of temper tantrums, relates more to emotional readiness than physical capability. Option C, walking for 2 years, shows gross motor skills but does not directly correlate with toilet training readiness. Option D, using utensils, demonstrates fine motor skills but is not relevant to the specific skills needed for toilet training.
