    A nurse is collecting data from an 18-month-old toddler. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?

    Explanation & Rationale

    Choice A reason: At 18 months, a toddler should typically be saying more than four words. This finding may indicate a potential delay in speech development, and it should be reported to the provider for further evaluation. Choice B reason: Building a tower of three blocks is an appropriate developmental milestone for an 18-month-old and does not warrant reporting. Choice C reason: Temper tantrums are a normal behavior for toddlers, as they are still developing emotional regulation skills. This finding does not require reporting unless it is severe or causing harm to the child. Choice D reason: Jumping in place with both feet is an appropriate developmental milestone for an 18-month-old and does not warrant reporting.
