B) Advising the mother about the girl's increased calorie needs

D) Describing the tongue extrusion reflex
A
Response:
The cup may be introduced at 6 to 8 months of age. Old-fashioned sippy cups are preferred compared to the new style. The nurse would not advise the mother about increased caloric needs as they decrease at this age. The transition to table meat will not take place until age 10 to 12 months. The tongue extrusion reflex disappears at age 4 to 6 months.
