Which of the following toys should the nurse recommend for a 5-month-old?
- A. A big red balloon
- B. A teddy bear with button eyes
- C. A push-pull wooden truck
- D. A colorful busy box
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A busy box facilitates the fine motor development that occurs between 4 and 6 months. Balloons are contraindicated because small children may aspirate balloons. Because the button eyes of a teddy bear may detach and be aspirated, this toy is unsafe for children younger than 3 years. A 5-month-old is too young to use a push-pull toy.
