Question 1

Which sleep practice is recommended to reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) in child care?

Accepted Answer

Placing infants on their backs on a firm, flat sleep surface with no loose bedding

Answer

Safe sleep guidelines call for babies to be placed on their backs on a firm, flat surface with no pillows, blankets, or toys in the crib.

Question 2

What is the best way for a caregiver to respond when a young infant cries?

Accepted Answer

Respond promptly and warmly to figure out and meet the infant's need

Answer

Prompt, caring responses help infants build trust and secure attachment, which is the foundation of healthy social and emotional development.

Question 3

Primary caregiving in an infant program means:

Accepted Answer

Assigning each infant to one main caregiver who builds a close, consistent relationship

Answer

Primary caregiving gives each child a consistent adult, which supports attachment, makes it easier to learn each child's cues, and eases separation.

Question 4

Which of these is a sign that an infant is ready to begin solid foods?

Accepted Answer

The infant can sit with support, has good head control, and shows interest in food

Answer

Readiness signs include good head control, sitting with support, and interest in food, typically around 6 months. Solids should be introduced with parent communication and guidance.

Question 5

Which toy is the safest choice for a 10-month-old infant?

Accepted Answer

A soft, washable toy too large to fit in the mouth or swallow

Answer

Infants explore by mouthing objects, so toys must be too large to swallow or choke on, free of small parts, cords, and hazards, and easy to sanitize.
