While in the pediatrician's office for their child's 12-month well child exam, the parents ask the nurse for advice on age-appropriate toys for their child

Question

Based on the child's developmental level, the nurse should suggest which types of toys? Select all that apply. 1. Soft toys that can be manipulated and mouthed
2. Toys that can pop apart and go back together
3. Jack-in-the-box toys
4. Toys with black-and-white patterns
5. Push-and-pull toys
Correct

Answer 1

2; 3; 5
Rationale:
1. Both gross and fine motor skills are becoming more developed, and children at this age enjoy toys that can help them refine these skills. They tend to enjoy more colorful toys at this age, and are more mobile, thus they have less interest in placing toys in their mouth and more interest in toys that can be manipulated.

While trying to inform a 5-year-old girl about what will occur during an upcoming CAT scan, the nurse notices that the child is engaged in a collective monologue, talking about a new puppy. The nurse's best response would be:
1. "Please stop talking about your puppy. I need to tell you about your CT scan."
2. To ignore the child's responses and continue discussing the procedure.
3. "I'll come back when you are ready to talk with me more about your CT scan."
4. "You must be so excited to have a new puppy! They are so much fun. Now let me tell you again about going downstairs in a wheelchair to a special room."

Rationale:
1. When a child becomes engaged in a collective monologue, it is best to respond to the content of her conversation and then attempt to reinsert facts about the content that needs to be covered.

Two 3-year-olds are playing in a hospital playroom together. One is working on a puzzle while the other is stacking blocks. The mother of one of the children scolds them for not sharing their toys. The nurse counsels this mother that this is normal developmental behavior for this age, and that the term for it is:
1. Cooperative play.
2. Associative play.
3. Parallel play.
4. Solitary play.

Rationale:
1. Cooperative play is when children demonstrate the ability to cooperate with others and to play a part in order to contribute to a unified whole.
2. Associative play is characterized by children interacting in groups and participating in similar activities.
3. Parallel play is when two or more children play together, each engaging in his own activities.
4. Solitary play is when a child plays alone.
