Practice Question
A nurse is caring for a 12-month-old toddler who is hospitalized and confined to a room with contact precautions in place. Which of the following toys should the nurse recommend in order to meet the developmental needs of the client?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Large building blocks
Rationale:
🧩 At 12 months, toddlers are in the sensorimotor stage of development and are just beginning to manipulate objects and explore cause-and-effect relationships.
🧩 Large building blocks are perfect for this developmental stage, as they help toddlers develop fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.
🧩 Stacking blocks and arranging them also help toddlers practice problem-solving and improve their grip and dexterity.
🧩 Crayons and coloring books are suitable for older children, typically starting around 18 months to 2 years, when they begin showing more interest in drawing and scribbling.
🧩 Modeling clay can be a choking hazard and is not appropriate for a 12-month-old because of the risk of swallowing small pieces or putting it in their mouth.
🧩 Hanging crib toys are more for infants younger than 12 months, as toddlers are more interested in active play and exploration.
