The nurse is counseling the parents of a 6-1/2-month-old infant. Which age-appropriate toy is most appropriate for the nurse to suggest to these parents?

1. Soft, fluid-filled ring that can be chilled in the refrigerator
2. Colorful rattle
3. Jack-in-the-box toy
4. Push-and-pull toy


Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: Teething toys would be appropriate for this age. The rattle might be better enjoyed by a 3- to 6-month-old infant, and the jack-in-the-box and push-and-pull toys are better suited for a 9- to 12-month-old child.
