    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

    A. Hanging crib toys are more suitable for younger infants who are less mobile and primarily focus on visual and tactile stimulation. B. Large building blocks are appropriate for a 12-month-old toddler. They help develop fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and cognitive abilities while providing safe, engaging play. C. Modeling clay is not appropriate for a 12-month-old due to the risk of ingestion and difficulty in manipulation. D. Crayons and a coloring book may be introduced slightly later when fine motor skills are more developed and the toddler can grasp and control a crayon better.
