    A nurse is teaching the guardian of a 2-year-old toddler about toilet training. The nurse should instruct the guardian that which of the following behaviors indicates the toddler is ready for toilet training?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Waking from naps with a dry diaper indicates that the toddler’s bladder is able to hold urine for an extended period, a sign of physical readiness for toilet training. B. Staying dry for 1 hour during the daytime is a good indication of bladder control and readiness for toilet training. C. Comfort with waiting for a diaper change does not necessarily indicate readiness for toilet training. D. Sitting on the toilet for 2 to 3 minutes is more about comfort than readiness, and toddlers may not sit still for that long.
