The parents of a newborn have been given instructions about which toys are appropriate for their infant. Which of these statements, if made by the parents, would indicate that they correctly understood the instructions?
a. It will be so much fun picking out a jack-in-the-box
b. I bet he’d enjoy one of those animals that squeaks when you squeeze it
c. Let’s get him one of those teething rings that we can put in the freezer
d. We should hunt for a mirror that won’t break
Answer D. Newborns and young infants enjoy looking at themselves in the mirror.
The human face is pleasing to them.
Nurses must instruct parents to buy unbreakable mirrors to prevent injury.
A jack-in-the-box may be fun for the parents, but a newborn does not have the capacity to turn the handle and make it work.
This is too advanced a toy for a newborn.
