Lag. It Is Not Until 4 Months Of Age That The Infant Can Keep His Or Her Head In A Straight Line When
Pulled To A Sitting Position.

Of Age Can Be Estimated From The Birth Weight.
3. Which Statement Made By A Parent Would Be Consistent With A Developmental Delay?
A. I Have Noticed That My 9-Month-Old Infant Responds Consistently To The Sound Of His Name.
B. I Have Noticed That My 12-Month-Old Child Does Not Get Herself To A Sitting Position Or Pull To
Stand.
C. I Am So Happy When My 1 1/2-Month-Old Infant Smiles At Me.
D. My 5-Month-Old Infant Is Not Rolling Over In Both Directions Yet.
ANSWER: B
Critical Developmental Milestones For Gross Motor Development In A 12 Month Old Include Standing
Briefly Without Support, Getting To A Sitting Position, And Pulling To Stand. If A 12-Month- Old Child
Does Not Perform These Activities, It May Be Indicative Of A Developmental Delay. An Infant Who
Responds To His Name At 9 Months Of Age Is Demonstrating Abilities To Both Hear And Interpret Sound.
A Social Smile Is Present By 2 Months Of Age. Rolling Over In Both Directions Is Not A Critical Milestone
For Gross Motor Development Until The Child Reaches 6 Months Of Age.
4. At A Healthy 2-Month-Old Infants Well-Child Clinic Visit, The Nurse Should Give Which
Immunizations?
A. Dtap, IPV, Hepb, Hib, PCV, Rotavirus
B. MMR, Dtap, PVC, And IPV
C. Hib, Dtap, Rotavirus, And OPV
D. Hib And MMR, IPV, And Rotavirus
ANSWER: A
Dtap, IPV, Hepb, Hib, PCV, And Rotavirus Are The Appropriate Sequence Of Immunizations For A Healthy
2-Month-Old Infant. MMR Is Given At Or After 12 Months Of Age. Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV) Is No Longer
Administered In The U.S.
, 5. The Nurse Advises The Mother Of A 3-Month-Old Infant, Exclusively Breast-Fed, To:
A. Start Giving The Infant A Vitamin D Supplement.
B. Start Using An Infant Feeder And Add Rice Cereal To The Formula.
C. Start Feeding The Infant Rice Cereal With A Spoon At The Evening Feeding.
D. Continue Breast-Feeding Without Any Supplements.
ANSWER: A
Breast Milk Does Not Provide An Adequate Amount Of Dietary Vitamin D. Infants Who Are Exclusively
Breast-Fed Need Vitamin D Supplements To Prevent Rickets. An Infant Feeder Is An Inappropriate
Method Of Providing The Infant With Caloric Intake. Solid Foods And Rice Cereal Are Not Recommended
For A 3-Month-Old Infant. Solid Feedings Do Not Typically Begin Before 4 To 6 Months Of Age. Because
Breast Milk Is Not An Adequate Source Of Fluoride, Infants Need To Be Given A Fluoride Supplement.
6. At Months Of Age, An Infant Should First Be Expected To Locate An Object Hidden From
View.
A. 4
B. 6
C. 9
D. 20
ANSWER: C
By 9 Months Of Age An Infant Will Actively Search For An Object That Is Out Of Sight. Four-Month- Old
Infants Are Not Cognitively Capable Of Searching Out Objects Hidden From Their View. Infants At This
Developmental Level Do Not Pursue Hidden Objects. Six-Month-Old Infants Have Not Developed The
Ability To Perceive Objects As Permanent And Do Not Search Out Objects Hidden From Their View.
Twenty-Month-Old Infants Actively Pursue Objects Not In Their View And Are Capable Of Recalling The
Location Of An Object Not In Their View. They First Look For Hidden Objects Around The Age Of 9
Months.
