Practice Question
A nurse is assessing a 10-month-old infant. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
The infant does not sit steadily without support.
Rationale:
🧷 At 10 months, an infant should be able to sit independently without support as part of expected gross motor milestones.
🧷 Failure to do so suggests a delay in gross motor development, which could indicate underlying neuromuscular or developmental issues.
🧷 While tower building, turning pages, and animal sounds (options B–D) are more advanced and expected closer to 12–15 months, sitting without support is a baseline milestone that should be present by this age.
🧷 This warrants early referral for developmental evaluation to initiate interventions like physical therapy if needed.
