peds development exam by me

The nurse is assessing an 8-month-old child's gross motor development. Which action by the child indicates late development? 1 The child is unable to stand by holding onto furniture. 2 The child cannot change from a prone to a sitting position. 3 The child cannot sit down from a standing position without help. 4 The child cannot sit steadily on the floor for a prolonged period of time.

1 At 8 months of age the child should be able to stand by holding onto furniture, because the child readily bears weight on the legs when supported. When a child is 10 months old, the child can change from a prone to a sitting position. When a child is 12 months old, the child is able to sit down from a standing position without any help. When a child is at least 9 months old, the child can sit steadily on the floor for a prolonged period of time.

Which fine motor skill should the nurse expect when assessing the development of an infant between 10 and 12 months of age? 1 Holds a crayon 2 Walks with assistance 3 Stands independently 4 Sits from a standing position

1 The ability to hold a crayon is a fine motor skill that the nurse should expect when conducting a developmental assessment for an infant between 10 to 12 months of age. Walking with assistance, standing alone, and sitting from a standing position are all gross motor skills the nurse would anticipate for this infant.
