B, C, & E!

Cooing, babbling, and chuckling in a 3-month-old infant indicate normal development. A 3-month-old infant can pull at blankets or clothes and can raise his or her head to a 45- to 90-degree angle from the table. The grasp reflex generally disappears by the age of 3 months. A 3-month-old infant may not able to put his or her feet in the mouth when lying in the supine position. Generally a 5-month-old infant can put his or her feet in the mouth when lying in the supine position.
C!

An upright position helps prevent aspiration; gravity facilitates movement of food down the esophagus and into the stomach. Metal tableware is safer than plastic tableware because it is unbreakable; a mentally challenged child could easily bite down on and break a plastic utensil and choke on the fragments. Encouraging participation, with socialization, and treating the child with dignity should be part of the meal. Although the child might assume an upright position, using a syringe is a form of forced feeding; in addition, the child should be encouraged to eat solid foods. Feeding in the supine position puts the child at risk for aspiration and choking. Solid, not chopped, food should be encouraged.
A!

Honey-coated and hard candy pacifiers increase the risk of dental caries and oral infections. Rubbing the infant's teeth with salicylates can result in infection and irritation to the oral tissue. Giving the infant fruit juice from a bottle can cause dental caries; fruit juice should only be given from a cup. Bottle-feeding during the night increases the risk of bacterial infection.
C!

The measles vaccine is not given before 12 months of age because the child still has passive natural immunity from the mother. Polio, tetanus, and pertussis vaccines are given during the first 6 months of life.
