◉ Which statement made by a mother is consistent with a
developmental delay?
,A. "I notice my 9-month-old infant responds consistently to his
name."
B. "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: ANS: 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.
PTS: 1 DIF: Cognitive Level: Comprehension/Understanding

C. abnormal finding—indicates need for immediate referral to

D. abnormal finding—indicates need for developmental assessment.
Answer: ANS: A
This is a normal finding. The anterior fontanel closes between ages
12 and 18 months.
The posterior fontanel closes between 2 and 3 months of age. There
is no need for a
recheck, a referral, or a developmental assessment.
