Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
A 2-year-old child should be speaking in simple two-word sentences using a noun and a verb. Any 2-year-old child who does not talk in two-word, nounverb simple sentences needs a careful assessment to determine the cause because this is beyond a point of normal development. Counting is not an expectation for a 2-year-old child. The child will not be able to speak 20 nouns and 4 pronouns.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Training should begin with defecation training because this is an easier concept for the child to grasp. There is no time limit regarding the amount of time it takes to toilet train a toddler. Even though theoretically a child can begin toilet training once able to walk, the child needs to reach specific milestones before being able to successfully toilet train. Children are more likely to remain dry during the day than during the night.
