When teaching the parents of toddler-age children about expected developmental milestones, at which age should nurse Yvette tell the parents most children are walking?
a. 12 months
b. 15 months
c. 18 months
d. 24 months
Answer B. Most children walk between 11 and 15 months of age. To tell the parents that children walk by 12 months of age causes them concern needlessly because their child would actually have until 15 months of age before the nurse would be concerned. All children 18 and 24 months of age should be walking for some time.
