When teaching the mother of a 17-month-old about toilet training, which instruction would initially be most appropriate（）
A. Place the toddler on the potty chair every 2 hours for t0 minutes.
B. Offer a reward every time the child has a bowel movement in the potty chair.
C. Remove the diaper and use training pants to begin the process.
D. Be sure the child is ready before starting to toilet train.
参考答案：D
解析：
All of the instructions are appropriate, but knowing whether the child is ready to toilet train is initially most appropriate. Many 17-month-olds don’t have the neuromuscular control to be able to be trained. Waiting a few more months until the child is closer to age 2 years allows the child to develop more control. The mother should be taught the signs of readiness for toilet training.
