The correct answer is Choice B.

Choice A rationale

Reading a story every night is beneficial for cognitive and language development but does not specifically address the developmental task of autonomy versus shame and doubt, which is the focus for toddlers according to Erikson.

Choice B rationale

Allowing a toddler to pull a talking-duck toy fosters autonomy and independence, which are key aspects of Erikson’s developmental stage for toddlers. This activity encourages the child to explore and make choices independently.

Choice C rationale

Feeding the toddler his lunch does not promote autonomy. Instead, it may contribute to dependence, which is contrary to the developmental task of this age group.

Choice D rationale

Watching a puppet show on television is a passive activity that does not actively engage the child in developing autonomy or independence.

The correct answer is Choice B.

Choice A rationale

Insulin should be administered subcutaneously, not intramuscularly. Rotating sites is important to prevent lipodystrophy, but the correct technique involves subcutaneous injection.

Choice B rationale

Drawing up the short-acting insulin into the syringe first is correct. This prevents contamination of the short-acting insulin vial with long-acting insulin, ensuring accurate dosing.

Choice C rationale

Wiping off the needle with an alcohol swab is not recommended. The needle should remain sterile, and only the top of the insulin vial should be wiped with an alcohol swab.

Choice D rationale

Administering insulin at a 30-degree angle is incorrect. Insulin should be administered at a 90- degree angle if the person can grasp 2 inches of skin, or at a 45-degree angle if only 1 inch of skin can be grasped.
