Answer to Question 1

B
No two toddlers have the same vocabulary at the same age. The nurse should assess the other developmental markers before any conclusions can be drawn. There is no sufficient evidence to support that the mother is giving the child insufficient attention or that the child has a developmental delay.

Answer to Question 2

Gower
The Gower maneuver is a characteristic method of rising from the floor by walking up the legs to push the upper body erect.
