A previously toilet trained toddler has started wetting again. A nurse is gathering a health history from the grandparent. Which health history finding will the nurse most likely consider as the cause of the wetting?

A) Dietary changes
B) Recent parental death
C) Playmate moved away
D) Sibling was sick 2 days

A child's stage of development and chronological age will influence grieving. Toddlers can show grief from a loss of parent(s) through changes in their eating patterns, changes in their sleeping patterns, fussiness, and changes in their bowel and bladder habits. It is common for younger children to regress when under increased stress. Siblings being sick, dietary changes, and playmates moving away are unlikely to cause wetting.
