Ans: C, F
For a toddler, the nurse would avoid leaving small objects that can be swallowed in the bed and encourage parents to stay to prevent separation anxiety. The nurse would use the en face position when holding an infant and use a bed only for the older toddler who has an adult present in the room at all times. The nurse would explain activities in concrete, simple terms for a preschooler and allow a school-age child to select meals and activities.
