Passage / Scenario
A 15-month-old toddler.A nurse is assessing a 15-month-old toddler. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
The correct answer is C because a 15-month-old toddler should be able to stand upright without support. This milestone typically occurs around 12-15 months as part of their gross motor development. Not being able to stand upright without support at this age could indicate a delay in motor skills development, which should be reported to the provider for further evaluation. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they are more age-appropriate skills for a 15-month-old toddler. Choice A involves fine motor skills with stacking cubes, choice B involves gross motor skills with jumping, and choice D involves fine motor skills with turning a doorknob. These skills may vary in development among toddlers, but not being able to stand upright without support is more concerning at this age.
