A nurse is contributing to a plan of care for a child who is 3 years of age. Which of the following developmental milestones should the nurse incorporate into the plan of care?

A. The child is able to answer simple questions. By the age of 3, children develop basic language skills, allowing them to respond to simple questions. Their vocabulary expands significantly, and they begin to form short sentences, making communication more interactive. B. The child engages in conversation. While 3-year-olds can communicate basic needs and thoughts, true conversational skills, including back-and-forth exchanges with complex sentences, typically develop later, around age 4 to 5. C. The child knows to stay away from danger. At 3 years old, children have limited understanding of danger and often require close supervision to ensure safety. Their impulse control is still developing, making them prone to risky behaviors. D. The child adheres to rules. While toddlers begin to understand rules, they may not consistently follow them. At this stage, they still need reminders and reinforcement, as their self-regulation skills are not yet fully developed.
