• A. Homelessness
• B. Lower income
• C. Migrant status
• D. All of the above

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Factors like homelessness, lower income, and migrant status can create barriers to providing adequate nutrition for children.

2. Which immunization should the nurse include in a teaching session for parents of toddler-age clients to decrease the risk for epiglottitis?

• A. Hepatitis B
• B. Polio
• C. Measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR)
• D. Hemophilus influenzae type B (Hib)

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, Hemophilus influenzae type B (Hib) vaccine. Hib vaccine is crucial in preventing epiglottitis, a serious respiratory condition caused by Haemophilus influenzae type b bacteria. This vaccine is recommended for toddlers to protect them from developing epiglottitis. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because while they are important vaccines for children, they do not specifically target the prevention of epiglottitis, unlike the Hib vaccine.

• A. Acculturation
• B. Ethnocentrism
• C. Cultural shock
• D. Cultural sensitivity

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Ethnocentrism is the belief that one's own culture is superior to others, which can lead to bias and a lack of cultural competence in healthcare.

4. A new dad is concerned about his toddler's play patterns. The nurse informs him that ____________ play is normally exhibited by toddlers:

• A. Associative
• B. Team
• C. Solitary
• D. Parallel

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'Parallel.' Parallel play is a common play pattern observed in toddlers where they play alongside each other without direct interaction. This type of play allows toddlers to observe and mimic each other's actions, aiding in their social development. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. Associative play involves some interaction between children, team play involves organized group activities, and solitary play is when a child plays alone, all of which are not typically exhibited by toddlers during play.

• A. Negativism
• B. Diversionary activity
• C. Critical play
• D. Ritualism

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, Ritualism. Establishing routines like brushing teeth every night after dinner helps toddlers feel secure and in control. Choice A, Negativism, refers to a child's oppositional behavior. Choice B, Diversionary activity, involves redirecting attention to something else. Choice C, Critical play, does not relate to the scenario of establishing a routine for the toddler.
