Nurse talking with parents of 6 mo infant about gross motor development. Which gross motor skills are expected in next 3 mo? (Select all that apply.)
Correct answer
A,B,D
Rationale
The correct answers are A, B, and D. In the next 3 months, the infant is expected to roll from back to front (A), bear weight on legs (B), and sit unsupported (D). Rolling develops around 4-6 months, weight-bearing on legs around 6-9 months, and sitting unsupported around 6-8 months. Choice C, walking holding onto furniture, is more characteristic of the 9-12 month age range. Choice E, sitting down from a standing position, typically occurs after the infant has mastered standing independently, which is beyond the 9-month mark.
