A 2-year-old child received no delays and one caution on the Denver II. The nurse would record these results as which of the following?
a. Normal
b. The child should be retested in 1 to 2 weeks.
c. The child should be retested in 1 month.
d. The child has a developmental disability.
A
No delays and a maximum of one caution on the Denver II indicate a normal test. A delay is a failure of any item to the left of the age line. A caution is failure of the child to perform an item that has been achieved by 75% to 90% of children the same age. A suspect test is one with one or more delays or two or more cautions. In these instances, retest the child in 1 to 2 weeks. Current illness, lack of sleep, fear and anxiety, deafness, or blindness can affect a child's performance. If these or another logical rationale can explain a child's failure to successfully complete a series of Denver II items during a session, readminister the test in 1 month, providing resolution of the preexisting condition is accomplished where appropriate.
