Would it be realistic to expect an 11-month-old infant to be toilet trained? Explain. Should
parents be concerned if their 9-month-old infant cannot sit up without support? Explain. -
CORRECT ANSWERS I don't think it is realistic for an 11-month-old infant to be toilet trained
by that age yet, from birth to 12 months they are growing immensely. To start potty training,
they need to be able to communicate that they need to go to the toilet, as well as recognize
that they need to go. And by that age, it is very unlikely.
A parent may start to be somewhat concerned, although some children can have a hard time
sitting up at 9-months, children start sitting up on their own around 8 months of age. A
parent can take their child to get assessed, in case there is something wrong with the child.
How can early childhood educator's observations benefit the health of a child? - CORRECT
ANSWERS Early childhood educators' observations on the health of a child can benefit them
as when teachers are always alert to any changes in a child's appearance or behaviour they
are able to identify early signs of an illness or an undiagnosed health condition. This can help
the spread of a disease or the potential negative effects of a disorder later on in a child's life
if left unnoticed.
Your text notes the importance of correct posture and body mechanics for both children and
adults. List three practices that you can do with children to support this learning. - CORRECT
ANSWERS Three practices that can support correct posture and body mechanics for
children are teaching them ways to sit stand and lift things properly. They can be very
simple, for example, getting the child to sit squarely in a chair with their backs resting flat
against the chair back and their feet flat on the floor. Another can be to make sure they
stand with their shoulders square, chin up and chest out, with their weight being distributed
evenly. Lastly, can be to make sure they lift a heavier object properly, this is done by having
both legs put in a wider stance and lifting with their legs, this allows less strain on back
muscles and decreases the risk of injuries.
Children's oral health is an important component of their overall health. Learning to brush

letting the child pick out their favourite toothbrush or fun flavoured toothpaste. Another
way to play a 2-minute fun song while brushing their teeth, having a reward system where if
they brush their teeth properly or floss then they can get a gold star. Lastly, is to make
brushing and flossing time a family activity.
Sometimes early childhood educators are the first to notice signs of chronic diseases and
medical conditions. It is important to never diagnose the child or alarm the parent. Instead,
the parent should be referred to a specialist. Why are many chronic health problems difficult
to identify in the young child? - CORRECT ANSWERS It is difficult to diagnose chronic health
problems in children because sometimes it is hard to determine if a runny nose is a sign of a
cold or if it's a sign of allergies. Sometimes when there is suspicion that a child could have
asthma, there could be poor air quality like forest fires. Or even it could just be a cold that's
gone into their chest, which can cause a lot of coughing.
Anaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction to certain substances (e.g., bee stings, medications
and certain foods) that can cause difficulty breathing, itching, unconsciousness and possible
death. How would you respond to an incident of anaphylaxis? - CORRECT ANSWERS In the
incident of anaphylaxis, an ambulance should be called right away. If the person has an
Epipen, that should be injected into the upper thigh. It's always good to be calm in situations
like this, as the person in anaphylaxis will be worse if you are freaking out.
What three factors must be present for an infection to be communicable? - CORRECT
ANSWERS Three factors that must be present for an infection to be communicable are a
pathogen be present and available for transmission. These germs are commonly located in
discharges of the nose, throat and lungs, or even in the blood or urine. Most pathogens
need a living susceptible host to survive, for example, a human or insect. Most hosts
breakthroughs in the skin, the respiratory tract or the digestive system. Lastly, is the method
of transmission where the infectious agent from the original source is being transmitted to a
new host. The most common is airborne transmissions, there can also be a fecal-oral
transmission, or even direct contact with body fluids (blood or even mucus)Lastly there is
indirect contact which is an infected organism from an infected individual to an intermediate
object (toys, food, milk).

Describe specific practices and policies that caregivers can use to limit the spread of illnesses
transmitted via: the respiratory tract, the fecal-oral route, skin conditions and contaminated
objects; e.g., toys, towels, changing mats. - CORRECT ANSWERS Some ways a caregiver can
list the spread of illnesses transmitted are to assign changing diapers and food
responsibilities to two different people, so there can be no spread. Teach proper washing
hand techniques after going to the toilet or even after getting their diaper changed, as their
hands usually go straight into their mouths after. Sanitizing intermediate objects when they
are napping or even having a snack. Trying to decrease this spread. Lastly, is to make sure
the child is well-rested, nourished and immunized. This will help them be healthy and be less
susceptible to infectious organisms.
Given your knowledge of communicable illnesses, why is it unwise for educators and parents
to ignore exclusion policies? - CORRECT ANSWERS It is unwise for educators and parents to
ignore exclusion policies because the policy is there for when children who are ill should be
kept home. And if this is ignored then there could be a spread of this disease, as there are
many different ways this illness can spread. And if the educators decide to work even if they
are sick, they can also spread this disease to the children and the rest of the workers. This
ignorant ignoring of the policies can cause the spread of a disease that could have been
avoided if both parties followed the policies.
Name and describe five features of a quality child care program. - CORRECT ANSWERS
Children enrolled in quality child care programs show long-term gain in language, and
cognitive skills, improved readiness for getting ready for school, and lastly, to have fewer
problem behaviours. Five features of a quality child care program are a low teacher-to-child
ratio allowing for the teachers to have all their attention on a couple of children and for the
children to feel seen. A clean, licensed facility where the children and teachers feel safe and
spacious where the toys and educational activities are developmentally appropriate. The
teachers have advanced training in childhood education and child development with this the
children are taught skills that normally wouldn't be taught in a normal preschool. Lastly, is
for the programs to be accredited, this allows for people to know for sure that these schools
are of good quality.
