Passage / Scenario
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.Based on the child's developmental level, which type of toy should the nurse suggest?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
The correct answer is C: Push-and-pull toys. At a child's developmental level, typically around 6-12 months, they are exploring motor skills. Push-and-pull toys help develop gross motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and encourage physical activity. Soft toys (A) are suitable for younger infants who are exploring textures. Puzzles with 15 pieces (B) are more suitable for older toddlers who have better problem-solving skills. Toys with black-and-white patterns (D) are more suitable for newborns who are developing visual stimulation.
