Practice Question
A nurse is teaching a class about expected developmental milestones in 2-year-old toddlers. The nurse should include which of the following milestones?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Drinks from a cup
Rationale:
✅ C. Drinks from a cup
🎯 Most 2-year-olds are able to hold and drink from a regular cup without much spilling.
🎯 This skill demonstrates improved fine motor coordination and self-feeding independence.
🎯 It is an important part of daily living activities and developmental autonomy.
🎯 Mastery of this task signals neuromuscular maturity and hand-to-mouth coordination.
🎯 Encouraging this behavior supports healthy eating habits and routine participation.
✅ D. Walks independently
🎯 Independent walking is a gross motor milestone usually achieved by 12 to 15 months.
🎯 By 2 years, children should walk steadily without assistance, even run or climb stairs.
🎯 It reflects muscle development, balance, and coordination.
🎯 Delayed walking can be a sign of neuromuscular or orthopedic issues.
🎯 Monitoring this ability helps screen for developmental delays.
✅ E. Feeds themselves with a spoon
🎯 Self-feeding is a key fine motor developmental task at this age.
🎯 It enhances hand-eye coordination and independence in eating.
🎯 Encouraging self-feeding builds confidence and autonomy during mealtimes.
🎯 It reflects the toddler's growing ability to participate in self-care.
🎯 Proper utensils support skill acquisition and safe feeding habits.
