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 orderto meet the developmental needs of the client?

A. Maximizing learning potential: While education is important during adolescence, the priority focus of guidance regarding healthy lifestyles typically centers around behaviors that directly

impact physical and emotional well-being.

B. Reducing risk-taking behavior: Adolescents are prone to engaging in risky behaviors such as substance use, unsafe sexual practices, and reckless driving. Guidance should emphasize

strategies to reduce these behaviors and promote safer choices.

C. Promoting adequate physical growth: Physical growth is largely determined by genetics and occurs earlier in life. While maintaining overall health, including physical activity and nutrition, is important during adolescence, it is not typically the primary focus of guidance regarding

healthy lifestyles at this stage.

D. Teaching personal hygiene routines: Personal hygiene is important for overall health, but it is just one aspect of a healthy lifestyle. While adolescents should be encouraged to practice good hygiene habits, guidance should encompass a broader range of behaviors that contribute to overall well-being, including mental health and risk reduction.

A. Myelination of the brain and spinal cord is a continuous process that begins during fetal development and continues through childhood and adolescence. While significant myelination

occurs during infancy and toddlerhood, it is not complete by 24 months. However, substantial progress in myelination does occur during the toddler years, contributing to the development of motor and cognitive skills.

B. Alveoli reach adult numbers by 3 years of age. This statement is incorrect. Alveoli continue to develop and increase in number after birth, reaching adult numbers around adolescence, not by 3 years of age.

C. Urine output in a toddler typically averages approximately 30 mL/hour. This statement is incorrect. Toddlers typically have higher urine output rates than adults due to their smaller

bladder capacity and higher metabolic rate. The average urine output for a toddler is around 1-2 mL/kg/hour, which varies depending on factors such as hydration status and activity level.

D. Toddlers typically have strong abdominal muscles by the age of 2. This statement is incorrect. While toddlers may develop some abdominal muscle strength through activities such as walking and climbing, their muscle tone and strength are still developing and may not be as strong as in older children or adults.
