A) Correct- This is correct advice. Juice is not recommended for infants due to its high sugar content and lack of essential nutrients. It can contribute to excessive calorie intake and dental caries.
B) Incorrect- This is not accurate for a 9-month-old infant. By 9 months, most infants have already started to transition to solid foods, and their primary source of nutrition should be from a variety of solid foods, not formula.
C) Correct- This is correct advice. By 9 months, infants can begin to consume a variety of complementary foods to meet their nutritional needs. Adding raw fruit, cheese, or cooked vegetables can provide important nutrients and help introduce different tastes and textures.
D) Correct- As infants transition to solid foods, they typically require more frequent meals and snacks to meet their energy and nutrient needs. Breast milk or formula intake may also gradually decrease as solid foods are introduced.
E) Incorrect- Fluoride supplementation may be considered based on the fluoride content of the water supply and the child's risk of dental caries. However, this advice is not specific to the child's nutrition and feeding progression.
F. Incorrect- At 9 months, infants should not transition to whole cow's milk as their main source of nutrition. Breast milk or infant formula remains the primary source of nutrition, and cow's milk can be introduced as a beverage and ingredient in cooking after the first year of life.

A) Incorrect- While physical soothing can help comfort the child after the injections, it may not significantly reduce the duration of pain during the injections themselves.
B) Incorrect- Verbal reassurance is important to provide a calming environment, but it may not directly reduce the duration of pain during the injections.
C) Correct- Administering vaccines can be distressing for toddlers due to the pain associated with injections. To reduce the duration of pain and minimize the overall discomfort, the nurse should prioritize the strategy of simultaneous injections. This involves administering multiple vaccines at the same time rather than spacing them out. The rationale behind this approach is that the child experiences the discomfort of the injections only once, which can help reduce their overall distress and anxiety.
D) Incorrect- The positioning of the child may not have a direct impact on the duration of pain during injections. However, choosing an appropriate position for comfort is still important.
