The nurse is caring for a 7-month-old girl during a well-child visit. Which intervention is most appropriate for this child?

A.

Advising about increased caloric needs

B.

Explaining how to prepare table foods

C.

Discussing the type of sippy cup to use

D.

Describing the tongue extrusion reflex

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

A.    Advising about increased caloric needs might not be the primary focus unless specific growth concerns are present.
B.    At 7 months, while introducing table foods might be on the horizon, it's not the most immediate concern during this well-child visit.
C.    Discussing the type of sippy cup to use is pertinent as the infant is approaching an age where the introduction of a sippy cup becomes relevant for transitioning from a bottle.
D.    Describing the tongue extrusion reflex might be more relevant for younger infants just starting on solids, typically around 4 to 6 months, rather than at 7 months.

Explanation

A. While staying with the child until they fall asleep might provide immediate comfort, it might not address the underlying fear of monsters and might create a dependency on the parent's presence.
B. Dismissing the child's fear by stating that monsters are not real might invalidate the child's feelings and not effectively address the fear.
C. Using a night light can provide a sense of security and diminish the fear of monsters by illuminating the room, making it less scary for the child.
D. Allowing the child to sleep in the parent's bed might temporarily alleviate fear but might not address the fear of monsters in the long run and could create sleep dependency.
