Answer to Question 1

B, D, E
A child with hypothyroidism will display fatigue, dry, thick skin, and cold intolerance. Weight loss and diarrhea are signs of hyperthyroidism.

Answer to Question 2

B
Neurological development is completed at approximately 18 months of age. Parents need to know that both physical and psychological readiness are necessary for toilet training to be successful. The child needs to demonstrate signs of bowel or bladder control before attempting toilet training. Waiting until 24 to 30 months of age makes the task easier; toddlers are less negative, more willing to control their sphincters, and want to please their parents. One of the physical signs of readiness for toilet training is that the child has been walking for 1 year. The ability to sit on the potty 10 to 15 minutes may demonstrate parental control rather than being a sign of developmental readiness for toilet training.
