At 8 to 12 weeks of age, the infant turns the head to the side when sound is
made at the level of the ear. At 16 to 24 weeks, the infant locates sound by
turning the head to the side and then looking up or down. At 24 to 32
weeks, infants respond to their own name. At 32 to 40 weeks, the infant
localizes sounds by turning the head directly toward the sound.

f.Each new food item should be introduced at 5- to 7-day intervals. -
CorreCt Answers -ANS: B, C, E, F
Teaching related to feeding an infant solid foods should include introducing
a wide variety of foods because an infant has not developed a strong food
,preference as seen with a toddler. As solid food consumption increases, the
amount of milk consumed should decrease to less than 1 L/day to prevent
overfeeding. Introduction to citrus fruits, meats, and eggs should be
delayed until after 6 months of age because of the potential to cause food
allergies. New foods should be introduced at 5- to 7-day intervals to
evaluate for food allergies. Spoon feedings should be introduced after a
small ingestion of milk, not at the end of a milk feeding, to associate the
activity with pleasure. In general, low-calorie milk and food should be
avoided.

CorreCt Answers -ANS: A, B, E
, Anticipatory guidance to prevent aspiration for a 4-month-old infant takes
into account that the infant will begin to be more active and place objects in
the mouth. Toys should be checked for removable parts; baby powder
should be kept out of reach; and hard candy, nuts, and foods with pits
should be avoided. The infant should not go to bed with a bottle. Teething
biscuits should be used with caution because large chunks may be broken
off and aspirated.
