QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT ANSWERS
◉ The nurse is assessing a 6-month-old healthy infant who weighed
7 pounds at birth. The nurse should expect the infant to now weigh
approximately how many pounds?
a. 10
b. 15
c. 20
d. 25 Answer: ANS: B
Birth weight doubles at about age 5 to 6 months. At 6 months, a
child who weighed 7 pounds at birth would weigh approximately 15
pounds; 10 pounds is too little. The infant would have gone from the
50th percentile at birth to below the 5th percentile; 20 to 25 pounds
is too much. The infant would have tripled the birth weight at 6
months.
◉ The nurse is doing a routine assessment on a 14-month-old infant
and notes that the anterior fontanel is closed. How should the nurse
interpret this finding?
a. Normal finding
,b. Finding requiring a referral
c. Abnormal finding
d. Normal finding, but requires rechecking in 1 month Answer: ANS:
A
This is a normal finding. The anterior fontanel closes between ages
12 and 18 months. No further intervention is required.
◉ A nurse is assessing a 6-month-old infant. The nurse recognizes
the posterior fontanel usually closes at which age?
a. 6 to 8 weeks
b. 10 to 12 weeks
c. 4 to 6 months
d. 8 to 10 months Answer: ANS: A
The bones surrounding the posterior fontanel fuse and close by age
6 to 8 weeks; 10 to 12 weeks, 4 to 6 months, and 8 to 10 months are
too late. The posterior fontanel is usually closed by age 8 weeks.
◉ During the 2-month well-child checkup, the nurse expects the
infant to respond to sound in which manner?
,a. Respond to name.
b. React to loud noise with Moro reflex.
c. Turn his or her head to side when sound is at ear level.
d. Locate sound by turning his or her head in a curving arc. Answer:
ANS: C
At 2 months of age, an infant should turn his or her head to the side
when a noise is made at ear level. At birth, infants respond to sound
with a startle or Moro reflex. An infant responds to his or her name
and locates sounds by turning his or her head in a curving arc at age
6 to 9 months.
◉ Which characteristic best describes the fine motor skills of an
infant at age 5 months?
a. Neat pincer grasp
b. Strong grasp reflex
c. Builds a tower of two cubes
, d. Able to grasp object voluntarily Answer: ANS: D
At age 5 months, the infant should be able to voluntarily grasp an
object. The grasp reflex is present in the first 2 to 3 months of life.
Gradually, the reflex becomes voluntary. The neat pincer grasp is not
achieved until age 11 months. At age 12 months, an infant will
attempt to build a tower of two cubes but will most likely be
unsuccessful.
◉ The nurse is performing an assessment on a 12-month-old infant.
Which fine or gross motor developmental skill demonstrates the
proximodistal acquisition of skills?
a. Standing
b. Sitting without assistance
c. Fully developed pincer grasp
d. Taking a few steps holding onto something Answer: ANS: C
Acquisition of fine and gross motor skills occurs in an orderly
center-to-periphery (proximodistal) or head-to-toe (cephalocaudal)
