Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
It may be time to transition the child from a crib to a low bed to prevent falls and injuries. Removing objects from around the crib and omitting the afternoon nap may not address the root cause of the child climbing out of the crib. Restraint should not be used as it is not a safe or appropriate solution.
