A nurse is contributing to the plan of care of a 14-month-old toddler who is 24 h following interventions should the nurse include in the plan?

The correct answer is D: Provide soft foods for the toddler. At 14 months, toddlers should be transitioning to a diet of soft foods to aid in their development and prevent choking hazards. Hard-tipped sippy cups (choice A) are not recommended as they can pose a risk of injury. Suctioning the toddler's nose and mouth every hour (choice B) is excessive and can lead to irritation and discomfort. Maintaining elbow restraint (choice C) is unnecessary and may hinder the toddler's mobility and development. In summary, providing soft foods aligns with the toddler's age and promotes safe and appropriate feeding practices.
