The mother of a 2-year-old boy tells the nurse that her child’s dietary habits and practices have changed over the past few months. The nurse should expect the following behaviors in toddlers, with regards to their dietary habits and practices, except:
  1. Toddlers imitate how and what their parents eat
  2. Preference for bright colored foods to bland colors
  3. Increased appetite
  4. Toddlers eat all of one food item before going on another
Explanation
Answer: C - Because the rate of growth slows down during the toddler years, the nurse should expect the toddler’s appetite to slightly decrease. Toddlers like socializing and imitating their parents when eating. They prefer bright colored foods and toddlers typically eat all of one food item before going on to another.
