CCRN Critical Care Nursing

Category - Pediatrics

On assessment, the nurse notes that a 10-month-old child searches for and retrieves toys that disappear from view. Based on Piaget’s stages of cognitive development, the nurse would recommend which of the following toys or games?
  1. Rattle
  2. Nesting toys
  3. Peek-a-boo
  4. Throw and retrieve
Explanation
Answer - B - A nesting toy makes a good toy for a 10-month-old infant. At 8 to 12 months, or during the coordination of secondary reactions, the child begins to learn that objects in the environment are permanent. That is why the child searches for and retrieves toys that disappear from view. It is also during this time that infants experience separation anxiety.
