Cevap

The expected milestones for a 24-month-old toddler include kicking a ball forward without losing balance, building a tower of six to seven blocks, and communicating using short phrases of two to three words.
At 24 months (2 years) of age, a toddler experiences significant advancements in gross motor, fine motor, and language skills. Expected developmental milestones include the ability to kick a ball forward without falling, build a tower of six to seven blocks, and communicate using short phrases of two to three words. Recognizing these predictable markers helps the nurse confirm that the child's neurological and physical development is progressing normally.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the client's age and the developmental focus of the assessment.
The client is 24 months (2 years) old. The nurse needs to identify normal gross motor, fine motor, and language milestones specific to this exact age.
Accurate pediatric assessment requires distinguishing stage-appropriate behaviors from delayed or advanced behaviors.
2
Evaluate the options related to gross motor skills.
Kicking a ball is appropriate for 24 months. Pedaling a tricycle and alternating feet on stairs are more advanced 3-year-old (36 months) milestones.
Gross motor skills progress steadily; kicking requires basic balance, whereas alternating feet on stairs requires advanced equilibrium and strength.
3
Evaluate the options related to fine motor and language skills.
Building a tower of six to seven blocks and speaking in two- to three-word phrases are expected 24-month milestones. Copying a circle is a 3-year-old milestone.
Fine motor precision and vocabulary expand rapidly during the toddler years, with specific predictable markers that distinguish a 2-year-old from a 3-year-old.
