QuestionAnswer
A weight gain of 1.49 lb (0.68 kg) per month is expected from birth until which month? 6 months
At which age should infants achieve proper eye coordination? Infants should achieve proper eye coordination by 4 to 6 months.
mother of a 10-month-old comes to the nurse concerned that her child has had two upper respiratory infections in one month and asks if something is wrong with her child. How can the nurse respond? Infants have an immature immune system, which makes them susceptible to infections.
The mother of a newborn child enquires about having her child’s hearing checked. What is the best response by the nurse? All newborns should be screened for hearing before one month of age.
Which series of activities best reflects the motor development of an infant from 1 month of age to 4 months? At 4 months, the rooting reflex disappears. At 1 month, the child will hold a fist tightly clenched.
At 3 months the child will be able to lift the head 90 degrees from a prone position. At 4 months the child can hold the head steadily erect in a sitting position.
Which important anticipatory guidance would parents need to learn prior to the development of the infant’s pincer grasp (around 9 months of age)? Electrical outlets should be covered with socket safety panels. Parents should place stove pot handles away from the child's reach.
Parents should keep unsafe objects locked out of reach of the infant. The infant's food items should be cut into small, manageable pieces.
mother has brought in her infant for the infant’s 6-month well-child checkup. You notice the infant’s left eye intermittently not aligning with the right eye and an inability to focus both eyes on the same spot. What is the appropriate response? Ensure the infant's "red reflex" is normal. Notify the child's provider, as extraocular eye alignment should be achieved by 6 months of age.
mother of a 3-month-old infant is requesting information on the motor milestones she can expect to see in her child. The nurse can tell the parent to expect to see which activities at 3 months? Places hand in mouth Can lift head off bed in prone position.
What consequences may result if an infant’s needs are ignored by the parent? Feelings of insecurity
nurse is observing a mother who is interacting with her infant and notices the infant trying to imitate the sounds that the mother is making. The nurse knows that the child must be at least what age? 6-8 months
mother brings her 5-month-old infant to the clinic and is concerned that the child does not seem to smile as much as her niece, who is the same age. How will the nurse respond? This is a concern since the child should be showing a social smile by no later than 3 months of age.
new mother at the clinic asks at what age her baby will be able to interact and play games like pat-a-cake with her. What would be the correct response from the nurse? 12 months
Parent--infant attachment is the most important association for which type of development? Psychosocial
How can the parent-infant attachment be strengthened immediately after birth? Reciprocal interactions that include holding the child, touching the child, and speaking gently to the child.
Which statement can the nurse use to educate the parent on leaving a child who shows emotional distress when having to leave the parent? Separations should be accomplished swiftly without dwelling on the separation.
