There will come a time when you either have to deliver a baby or work on a pediatric patient. It is important to properly define what age group your patient is in. How old is a toddler?
  1. 6 months to 1 year
  2. 1 year to 2 years
  3. 1 year to 3 years
  4. 1 year to 5 years
Explanation
Answer: C - A toddler is from the ages of 1 to 3 years. Toddlers do not like being touched, having clothing removed, being separated from their parents, or wearing oxygen masks. They fear pain and needles. Toddlers should be given confirmation that they have not been bad; at this age, patients may believe their illness is due to being bad and that it is a punishment. Additionally, the trunk-to-head approach should be taken to avoid agitation. Preschoolers are considered 3 to 6 years of age.
