Toddlers who consume more than 24 ounces of milk daily in place of other foods may develop milk anemia, because milk is a poor source of iron. A toddler needs more protein than fats in the diet. Certain foods, such as nuts, grapes, and raw vegetables, as well as hot dogs, candy, and popcorn, have been implicated in choking deaths and should be avoided. Calcium and phosphorus are important for healthy bone growth. Small frequent meals consisting of breakfast, lunch, and dinner with three interspersed high nutrient-dense snacks help improve nutritional intake.

To promote imaginative play for a 3-year-old child, the nurse should provide: dress-up clothes, dolls and dollhouses, housekeeping toys, play-store toys, telephones, farm animals and equipment, village sets, trains, trucks, cars, planes, hand puppets, and medical kits. A 100-piece jigsaw puzzle and a jump rope would be appropriate for a young, school-age child but not a 3-year-old child.

a. 1 month

b. 2 months

c. 3 months

d. 4 months

c) Three months

The child can recognize familiar objects at approximately age 3 months. For the first 2 months of life, infants watch and observe their surrounding. The 4-month-old infant is beginning to develop handeye coordination

a. Neat pincer grasp

b. Strong grasp reflex

c. Builds a tower of two cubes

d. Able to grasp object voluntarily

D) Able to grasp objects voluntarily

The nurse is checking reflexes on a 7 month old infant. When the infant is suspended in a horizontal prone position, the head is raised and the legs and spine are extended. Which reflex is this?

a. Landau

b. Parachute

c. Body righting

d. Labyrinth righting

a. Landau

When the infant is suspended in a horizontal prone position, the head is raised and the legs and spine are extended; this describes the Landau reflex. It appears at 6 to 8 months and persists until 12 to 24 months.

The parachute reflex occurs when the infant is suspended in a horizontal prone position and suddenly thrust downward; the infant extends the hand and fingers forward as if to protect against falling, This appears at age 7 to 9 months and lasts indefinitely.

Body righting occurs when turning the hips and shoulders to one side causes all other body parts to follow. It appears at 6 months of age and persists until 24 to 36 months.

The labyrinth righting reflex appears at 2 months and is strongest at 10 months. This reflex involves holding infants in the prone or supine positions. They are able to raise their head

Rolling from abdomen to the back is developmentally appropriate for a 5-month old infant.

The ability to roll from the back to the abdomen is developmentally appropriate for an infant at age 6 months. Sitting erect without support is a developmental milestone usually achieved by 8 months.

A 10-month-old infant can usually move from prone to sitting position

At which age can most infants sit steadily unsupported

a. 4 months

b. 6 months

c. 8 months

d. 12 months

c) 8 months

At age 4 months, an infant can sit with support.

At age 6 months, the infant will maintain a sitting position if propped

By 10 months, the infant can maneuver from prone to a sitting position

By which age should the nurse expect that an infant will be able to pull to a standing position?

a. 5 to 6 months

b. 7 to 8 months

c. 11 to 12 months

d. 14 to 15 months

c) 11 to 12 months

Most infants can pull themselves to a standing position at age 9 months. Infants who are not able to pull themselves to standing by age 11 to 12 months should be further evaluated for developmental dysplasia of the hip

At 6 months, infants have just obtained coordination of arms and legs

According to Piaget, a 6-month-old infant should be in which developmental stage?

a. Use of reflexes

b. Primary circular reactions

c. Secondary circular reactions

d. Coordination of secondary schemata

c) Secondary circular reflexes

Infants are usually in the secondary circular reaction stage from ages 4 to 8 months. This stage is characterized by a continuation of the primary circular reaction for the response that results. Shaking is performed to hear the noise of the rattle, not just for shaking.

The use of reflexes stage is primarily during the first month of life.

The primary circular reaction stage marks the replacement of reflexes with voluntary acts. The infant in this stage from ages 1 to 4 months.

The fourth sensorimotor stage is coordination of secondary schemata, which occurs at ages 9 to 12 months. This is a transitional stage in which increasing motor skills enable exploration of the environment

At which age do most infants begin to fear strangers?

a. 2 months

b. 4 months

c. 6 months

d. 12 months

c) 6 months

Between ages 6 to 8 months, fear of stranger and stranger anxiety become prominent and are related to infants ability to discriminate between familiar and unfamiliar people.

At 2 months, infants are just beginning to respond differently to their mothers.

The infant at age 4 months is beginning the process of separation-individuation, which involves recognizing the self and mother as separate beings

Twelve months is too late; the infant requires referral for evaluation if he or she doesn't fear strangers by this age

At which age should the nurse expect most infants to begin to say mama and dada with meaning

a. 4 months

b. 6 months

c. 10 months

What is an appropriate play activity for a 7-month-old infant to encourage visual stimulation

a. Playing peek-a-boo

b. Playing pat-a-cake

c. Imitating animal sounds

d. Showing how to clap hands

A) Playing peek-a-boo

Because object permanence is a new achievement, peek-a-boo is an excellent activity to practice this new skill for visual stimulation.

Playing pat-a-cake and showing how to clap hands help with kinetic stimulation. Imitating animal sounds helps with auditory stimulation

What information should be given to the parent of a 12-month-old child regarding appropriate play activities for this age?

a. Give large pushpull toys for kinetic stimulation.

b. Place a cradle gym across the crib to help develop fine motor skills.

c. Provide the child with finger paints to enhance fine motor skills.

d. Provide a stick horse to develop gross motor coordination.

A) Give large pushpull toys for kinetic stimulation

(A 12-month-old child is able to pull to a stand and walk holding on or independently. Appropriate toys for this age child include large pushpull toys for kinetic stimulation. A cradle gym should not be placed across the crib. Finger paints are appropriate for older children. A 13 month old child doesn't have the stability to use a stick horse)
