    A community health nurse is assisting with the development of a pamphlet regarding choking hazards for toddlers. Which of the following foods should the nurse include?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Potatoes are generally considered safe for toddlers to consume, as they are usually cooked until they are soft and easy to chew. B. Oranges can be a choking hazard if not cut into small, manageable pieces, but they are less likely to cause choking than some other foods. C. Correct. Grapes are small and round, making them a significant choking hazard for toddlers. They can easily become lodged in a toddler's airway. D. Corn kernels can also be a choking hazard for toddlers, especially if they are not chewed thoroughly or if the toddler eats them directly off the cob.
