Passage / Scenario
A 10-month-old infant.A nurse is assessing a 10-month-old infant. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
The correct answer is C: The infant does not sit steadily without support. This finding should be reported to the provider because by 10 months, infants should be able to sit steadily without support, demonstrating proper musculoskeletal development and strength. Inability to sit steadily may indicate a delay in gross motor skills.
Incorrect choices:
A: The infant is unable to imitate animal sounds - This is a language development milestone, not a concern at this age.
B: The infant cannot build a tower of three or four cubes - This is a fine motor skill, not necessarily expected at 10 months.
D: The infant cannot turn pages in a book - Fine motor skill that may not be fully developed at this age.
