A nurse is assessing infants for visually related developmental milestones. Which infant is showing a delay in meeting an expected milestone?
1. 4-month-old who has a social smile
2. 8-month-old who has just begun to inspect her own hand
3. 12-month-old who stacks blocks
4. 7-month-old who picks up a raisin by raking
Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: An 8-month-old who has just begun to inspect her own hand is delayed. The infant usually inspects her own hand beginning at 3 months. A 4-month-old with a social smile, a 12-month-old who stacks blocks, and a 7-month-old who picks up a raisin by raking are all showing appropriate visually related milestones.
