A nurse is collecting data from a 6-month-old infant during a well-child visit.

Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?

These are the developmental milestones that a 9-month-old infant should be able to perform according to the Denver II Developmental Screening Test.

Some explanations for each choice are:

• Choice A is correct because a 9-month-old infant should be able to pull up to a standing position by holding on to furniture or other objects.

• Choice B is correct because a 9-month-old infant should be able to say “mama” and “dada” nonspecifically, meaning they do not associate the words with specific people yet.

• Choice C is correct because a 9-month-old infant should be able to use a pincer grasp to pick up small objects, such as cereal or raisins, with the thumb and index finger.

• Choice D is wrong because a 9-month-old infant should not be able to point to objects or pictures when named.This skill usually develops around 12 months of age.

• Choice E is correct because a 9-month-old infant should be able to crawl on hands and knees, although some infants may use other methods of locomotion, such as scooting or rolling.

All of the above.

This statement indicates that the parents understand the nutrition needs of a 2-year-old toddler.

Choice A is correct because a 2-year-old should eat three healthy meals a day, plus one or two snacks.

Choice B is correct because a 2-year-old should limit milk intake to 16 oz per day to avoid displacing other foods and nutrients.A 2-year-old can drink lower-fat dairy products, such as 2% or 1% milk, unless advised otherwise by a doctor.

Choice C is correct because a 2-year-old should avoid foods that are potential choking hazards, such as nuts, seeds, popcorn, hard candy, grapes, hot dogs, and raw carrots.A 2-year-old can eat the same food as the rest of the family, but may prefer finger foods instead of soft ones.
