A 3-year-old client was successfully toilet trained prior to admission to the hospital for injuries sustained from a fall. The client's parents are very concerned that the child has regressed in toileting behaviors. Which information should the nurse provide to the parents?

A. A potty chair should be brought from home to maintain the current level of toileting skills: While familiar items can offer comfort, regression in toileting is typically temporary and does not require special equipment to preserve skills. B. Children usually resume their toileting behaviors when they leave the hospital: Hospitalization is a stressful event for preschoolers, and temporary regression in toileting is common. Reassuring parents that the child is likely to return to previous toileting behaviors once home helps reduce anxiety and supports normal developmental expectations. C. Diapering will be provided since hospitalization is stressful to preschoolers: Diapering may be used for convenience or safety, but presenting it as necessary for all hospitalized children may cause unnecessary concern. It does not address the expected return to prior skills. D. A retraining program will need to be initiated when the child returns home: Most children spontaneously resume previous toileting abilities without formal retraining. Only persistent regression after discharge would warrant intervention.
