Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback
A Evaluating a patient's weight gain during pregnancy should be included for all patients,
not just for those who are culturally different.
B The socioeconomic status of the patient may alter the nutritional intake, but not the
cultural influence.
C Teaching the food groups to the patient should come after assessing food preferences.
D Understanding the patient's food preferences and how she prepares food will assist the
nurse in determining whether the patient's culture is adversely affecting her nutritional
intake.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback
A Toilet training is not arbitrarily started at 12 to 18 months of age. The child
needs to demonstrate signs of bowel or bladder control before attempting toilet
training. The average toddler is not ready until 18 to 24 months of age. 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.
B Neurologic 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.
C One of the physical signs of readiness for toilet training is that the child has been
walking for 1 year.
D The ability to sit on the potty for 10 to 15 minutes may demonstrate parental
control rather than being a sign of developmental readiness for toilet training.
