Question

question 5 of 5
the nurse is working at a local elementary school. a parent arrives to pick up their 6 - year - old child and is accompanied by their 2 - year - old child. based on the nurses developmental knowledge of toddlers, which behavior would most concern the nurse?
the 2 - year - old leaning against the screen of a window in a classroom
the 2 - year - old and 6 - year - old each holding the parents hand
the 2 - year - old helping the parent to open the front door of the school
the 6 - year - old riding a bike on the playground with their friend

Explanation:

• Toddlers (2 - year - olds) have limited understanding of danger. Leaning against a classroom window screen could be dangerous as screens are not designed to support a child's weight and could potentially give way, leading to a fall.
• Holding the parent's hand is a normal and safe behavior for both the 2 - year - old and 6 - year - old.
• Helping to open the door is a developmentally appropriate and relatively safe activity for a 2 - year - old.
• A 6 - year - old riding a bike on the playground with a friend (assuming proper supervision and safety gear) is a normal activity for that age group.

Answer:

the 2 - year - old leaning against the screen of a window in a classroom
