    A nurse is caring for a 12-month-old toddler who is hospitalized and confined to a room with contact precautions in place. Which of the following toys should the nurse recommend in order to meet the developmental needs of the client?

    Explanation & Rationale

    Rationale: A. Hanging a mobile in the crib is appropriate for a 12-month-old, providing visual stimulation and sensory engagement while adhering to infection control precautions. B. Modeling clay is not recommended because it can be a choking hazard and may be difficult to disinfect, posing infection risks. C. Large building blocks are better suited for toddlers older than 12 months who can safely manipulate them and are generally used for gross motor skill development. D. Crayons and a coloring book are more appropriate for preschool-aged children who have developed fine motor skills needed for coloring.
