When the nurse examines a toddler, she suggests to his mother that the activity that could most appropriately foster his developmental task according to Erikson would be to:
Read him a story every night.
Feed him his lunch.
Allow him to pull a talking-duck toy.
Have him watch a puppet show on television.
The Correct Answer is C
A. Reading a story is beneficial but does not directly support the toddler's developmental task of autonomy and initiative.
B. Feeding the toddler is a basic need but does not support the development of independence.
C. Allowing the toddler to pull a talking-duck toy supports their developmental task of autonomy and initiative by promoting physical activity and exploration.
D. Watching a puppet show is a passive activity and does not foster the active exploration needed for this developmental stage.

Correct Answer is ["4"]
Explanation
To calculate the flow rate in gtt/min, the nurse should use the formula: (Volume in mL * Drop factor) / Time in minutes. In this case, the prescribed volume is 150 mL/hr. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, the time for the infusion is 12 hours * 60 minutes/hour = 720 minutes. The drop factor is 20 gtt/mL. Plugging these values into the formula gives: (150 mL * 20 gtt/mL) / 720 minutes = 3000 gtt / 720 minutes = 4.1666 gtt/min. Rounding to the nearest whole number, the nurse should set the manual IV infusion to deliver 4 gtt/min.
