Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, E
The 7-month-old pulls the spoon toward his or her mouth and can manipulate finger foods. The 7-month-old does not have upper incisors and has not developed adequately to recognize the food container or exhibit excitement related to the sight of food.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, E
The tray attachment to a high chair is an inadequate restraint. All other options are good precautions to prevent an infant from a fall.
