Which is the highest priority nursing diagnosis for a toddler who is at the autonomy versus doubt stage of development?

A) Toileting self-care deficit related to readiness for transition from diapers
B) Impaired verbal communication related to stage of cognitive development
C) Readiness for enhanced sleep related to desire to sleep in a big kids' bed
D) Risk for poisoning related to unawareness of environmental risks within reach

Toddlers cannot understand the risks of their environment and want to put everything in their mouths.This presents a very significant risk of poisoning as toddlers are not aware when substances may be toxic or poisonous.Impaired verbal communication is expected for toddlers as they struggle to learn to speak clearly.Toddlers are ready to transition from a crib to a big kids' bed and to stop using diapers.Communication,toileting,and sleep are less of a priority than protection from poisoning.
