A nurse is reinforcing dietary teaching with the guardians of a toddler.Which of the following snack foods should the nurse recommend?

Choice A rationaleA hard-boiled egg is rich in proteins, providing essential amino acids for growth and development in toddlers. It is also soft and easy to chew, reducing choking hazards. Nutritionally, eggs contribute to overall health and meet dietary recommendations for young children.Choice B rationaleGrapes pose a significant choking risk for toddlers due to their size and slippery texture. While they are nutritious, alternative preparations such as slicing into smaller pieces are necessary for safe consumption by toddlers.Choice C rationaleRaw carrots are a common choking hazard for toddlers due to their hardness and size. Cooked carrots or smaller, softened pieces are safer alternatives to provide the same nutritional benefits without the risk.Choice D rationalePopcorn is unsuitable for toddlers as its small kernels and inconsistent texture present a choking hazard. Despite being a snack option for older children, it lacks the safety required for young children during their developmental stage.
