A nurse on a mental health unit is caring for clients who have various d Bryant traction. When determining that the traction is the following client diagnoses as presenting the greatest risk for suicide?

A. Imaginary playmates:

Toddlers typically do not engage in activities involving imaginary playmates. This behavior is more common in preschool-aged children.

B. Erikson's stage of initiative versus guilt:

Erikson's stage of initiative versus guilt occurs during the preschool years, typically around ages 3 to 5. It involves children developing a sense of initiative to take on new tasks and challenges, balanced with feelings of guilt if they are overly criticized or restricted.

C. Negative behaviors characterized by the need for autonomy:

This is the correct answer. Toddlers are in Erikson's stage of autonomy versus shame and doubt. During this stage, which typically occurs between the ages of 1 and 3, toddlers strive to gain independence and autonomy. They may exhibit negative behaviors, such as temper tantrums or defiance, as they assert their independence and explore their environment.

D. Demonstrations of sexual curiosity:

Demonstrations of sexual curiosity typically emerge later in childhood, around the preschool years or later. Toddlers are not typically focused on sexual curiosity during this stage of development.

A. "I will feed my baby on a schedule every 4 hours": Feeding an infant with heart failure on a strict schedule may not be appropriate because it may not allow the infant to consume adequate calories and nutrients when needed. Infants with heart failure may tire easily during feeding, so they may require more frequent, smaller feedings to ensure adequate intake.

B. "I will add Polycose to each of my baby's bottles": Polycose is a carbohydrate supplement sometimes used to increase the calorie content of infant formula or breast milk. However, adding it to every bottle without guidance from a healthcare provider may not be necessary or appropriate. The decision to use Polycose should be based on the infant's specific nutritional needs and should be directed by the healthcare team.

C. "I will allow my baby to take as much time as needed to finish the bottle": This statement indicates an understanding that infants with heart failure may have difficulty feeding due to fatigue or respiratory distress. Allowing the baby to take as much time as needed to finish the bottle ensures that they can consume an adequate amount of milk without becoming exhausted.

D. "I will limit my baby's crying to 15 minutes prior to each feeding": Limiting the baby's crying before feeding is not directly related to meeting the infant's nutritional needs. While minimizing stress and agitation before feeding can be beneficial, setting a specific time limit on crying may not always be practical or effective.
