The nurse teaching safety to teens knows that which of these is the leading cause of death among adolescents?

A. The child does not vocally respond to voices: While vocal responsiveness is an important aspect of development, it may vary among infants and is not necessarily indicative of a developmental problem at 4 months.

B. The child never squeals or yells: Squealing and yelling are vocalizations that infants may or may not exhibit at this age, and their absence alone may not necessarily indicate a developmental problem.

C. The child does not babblE. Babbling, which typically begins around 4 to 6 months of age, involves the repetition of consonant-vowel combinations (e.g., "bababa"). The absence of babbling by 4 months may suggest a delay in language development and could be a potential sign of a developmental problem.

D. The child does not say dada or mamA. Infants may begin to associate "dada" or "mama" with specific caregivers, but this typically occurs later, closer to 6 to 9 months of age. The absence of this behavior at 4 months may not necessarily indicate a developmental problem.

A. Ignore the temper tantrums. - Ignoring tantrums may work for some children, but it's not a universal solution and can sometimes escalate the behavior. It also doesn't teach the child appropriate ways to cope with their emotions.

B. Tell the child that temper tantrums are not acceptable. - While setting boundaries is important, simply telling the child that tantrums are unacceptable without providing alternative coping

mechanisms may not be effective, especially for a toddler who may not fully understand verbal reasoning.

C. Restrain the child physically. - Physically restraining the child can be harmful and is not recommended as a method for handling temper tantrums. It can lead to increased frustration and potentially cause injury to the child.

D. Distract the child by offering to play a game. - Distracting the child with a game or other engaging activity can help redirect their attention away from the tantrum and towards a more positive outlet for their emotions. This approach can be effective in diffusing the situation and teaching the child healthy coping strategies.
