The nurse is caring for a 7-month-old girl during a well-child visit. Which intervention is most appropriate for this child?
A) Discussing the type of sippy cup to use
B) Advising about increased caloric needs
C) Explaining how to prepare table meats
D) Describing the tongue extrusion reflex
Ans: A
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 about increased caloric needs as caloric needs drop at this age. Transition to table meat will not take place until age 10 to 12 months. Tongue extrusion reflex has disappeared at age 4 to 6 months.
