Question

when teaching the guardian of a toddler about feeding and eating, the nurse should include which of the following safety measures?
do not give the child peanut butter.
have the child drink 28 to 32 oz of milk daily.
give the child 8 to 12 oz of fruit juice daily.
do not offer the child raw vegetables.

Explanation:

• For "Do not give the child peanut butter": Peanut butter can be given to toddlers with precautions (like avoiding whole peanuts, but peanut butter itself isn't universally forbidden for safety in feeding; it's more about allergy risk assessment, not a general safety measure for feeding/eating in this context).
• For "Have the child drink 28 to 32 oz of milk daily": Excessive milk intake can displace other nutritious foods and lead to iron - deficiency anemia in toddlers. The recommended milk intake for toddlers is around 16 - 24 oz per day, so this is not a correct safety/feeding measure.
• For "Give the child 8 to 12 oz of fruit juice daily": Too much fruit juice can contribute to dental caries and excessive calorie intake without sufficient nutrition. The recommended fruit juice intake for toddlers is limited (e.g., no more than 4 - 6 oz per day for 1 - 3 year - olds), so this is incorrect.
• For "Do not offer the child raw vegetables": Raw vegetables can be a choking hazard for toddlers as they may not be able to chew them properly. So this is a correct safety measure for feeding toddlers.

Answer:

Do not offer the child raw vegetables.
