The nurse who is teaching a parent about developmental needs of the infant knows that the parent has verbalized understanding of a infant's developmental needs when he states
a. "My child is too young to understand words."
b. "My child will begin to speak in sentences by 1 year of age."
c. "My child will probably enjoy playing peek-a-boo."
d. "While my child is in the hospital, I should let the nurses provide most of the care."
C
By 9 months, infants play simple social games such as patty-cake and peek-a-boo. By 1 year, infants not only recognize their own names but are able to say three to five words and understand almost 100 words. Extended separations from parents complicate the attachment process and increase the number of caregivers with whom they must interact. Ideally, the parents provide most of the care during hospitalizations.
