    A nurse is speaking with the mother of a 6-year-old child. Which of the following statements by the mother should concern the nurse?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. "Sometimes my child acts bossy with his friends." Bossy behavior is a common part of social development in early childhood as children test boundaries and roles.
