Physical development occurs in predictable patterns. “Head to foot” indicates that control of the head and neck occur first. “Near to far” means that development starts at the trunk and moves outward. “Simple to complex” means that general movements occur before precise ones.

Which of the following statements is TRUE about a baby’s sense of taste?
- A baby’s sense of taste develops while it is in the mother’s uterus.
- Babies require several months to develop the sense of taste.
- Babies prefer sweet tastes to all others.
- At birth, babies can distinguish between the taste of water and milk.

What is the MAIN cause of shaken baby syndrome?
- A baby’s weak neck cannot support its head well, so the brain slams against the skull.
- Caregivers bounce the baby on their knees or toss them in the air.
- The caregiver loses control of his or her emotions because the baby keeps wetting its diaper.
- The caregiver becomes frustrated with the baby’s crying and tries to stop it by shaking or throwing the baby.
Initially, a baby’s neck is weak, but this does not cause the damage of shaken baby syndrome. Gently bouncing or tossing and catching a baby does not cause brain injury either. Caregivers don’t typically get frustrated with a baby wetting a lot of diapers; a baby’s constant crying is what makes caregivers lose control of their emotions.
