- D. I will make sure my child eats three meals a day, even though their appetite is not good right now.

A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the guardian of a 1-month-old infant who has colic. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
- A. Offer a pacifier when your baby is fussy.
- B. You should offer water in between feedings.
- C. You should place a warm heating pad on your baby's abdomen.

A nurse is reinforcing car seat safety instructions with the parents of a 15-month-old toddler. Which of the following statements by the parents indicates an understanding of the teaching?
- A. I should place my child in a forward-facing car seat to ensure safety.
- B. I should place my child in the front seat in a rear-facing car seat.
- C. I should continue to use a booster seat until my child is 5 years old.
- D. I should place my child in a rear-facing car seat until age 2.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Rear-facing car seats until age 2 protect the child's head, neck, and spine. Forward-facing too early, front-seat placement, or premature booster use increase injury risk.
A nurse is contributing to the plan of care for a preschooler who has moderate partial-thickness burns on both lower extremities. Which of the following interventions should the nurse recommend?
- A. Maintain clean technique during the child's dressing changes.
- B. Provide low-calorie snacks for the child three to four times each day between meals.
- C. Allow the child to set their own daily schedule for wound care.
- D. Ensure the child receives pain medication 30 to 45 min prior to therapy.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Pain medication 30-45 minutes before therapy manages pain during dressing changes or therapy. Clean technique is standard but not specific to pain, low-calorie snacks are irrelevant, and a child setting their own schedule is unsafe.
A nurse is caring for a 13-month-old toddler who has a prescription for a urinary catheter. Which of the following urinary catheters should the nurse use?
- A. 5 French
- B. 12 French
- C. 10 French
- D. 14 French
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A 5 French catheter is appropriate for a toddler to minimize urethral trauma. Larger sizes (10, 12, 14 French) risk discomfort or injury.
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the parent of a 15-month-old toddler about nutritional guidelines. Which of the following statements by the parent indicates an understanding of the teaching?
- A. My child will be constipated if they drink more than 6 ounces of juice a day.
- B. My child's intake of calcium should average 500 milligrams every day.
- C. My child should consume 1,500 to 1,800 calories each day by the time they turn 2.
- D. My child's appetite will increase suddenly when they turn 18 months old.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A 15-month-old toddler needs about 500 milligrams of calcium per day to support bone growth and development. Excessive juice does not cause constipation but can reduce appetite for other foods. Toddlers need approximately 1,000 to 1,300 calories per day, so 1,500-1,800 calories is excessive. There is no specific age-related sudden appetite increase at 18 months.
