    A nurse is educating new parents about choking hazards in the home. Which food item should the parents understand is the highest risk in younger children?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Small pieces of banana are soft and typically pose a lower choking risk compared to firmer or rounder foods. B. Cut-up grapes pose a high choking hazard due to their round shape and firm texture, which can obstruct the airway if not cut into small enough pieces. C. Baked potato is soft and generally not a high choking risk unless it is served in large chunks. D. Cut-up pieces of steak can be a choking hazard if not cooked or cut appropriately, but grapes present a more significant risk due to their shape and size.
