Practice Question
A nurse is teaching a parent of a 2-year-old child about safe food choices. Which of the following foods should the nurse recommend?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Bananas
Rationale:
🍌 Bananas are soft and easy to chew, making them a safe choice for toddlers who are still mastering chewing and swallowing.
🍌 In contrast, foods like grapes, raw carrots, and celery pose a choking hazard unless prepared properly (peeled, cooked, chopped).
🍌 Safe feeding practices are critical at this age due to limited molar development and risk of aspiration.
🍌 The nurse should teach parents how to prepare foods in toddler-safe forms.
