The nurse is assessing a 2-year-old boy who has missed some developmental milestones. Which finding will point to the cause of motor skill delays?
A) The mother is suffering from depression.
B) The child is homeless and has no toys.
C) The mother describes an inadequate diet.
D) The child is unperturbed by a loud noise.
B
Feedback:
Children develop through play, so a child without any toys may have trouble developing the motor skills appropriate to his age. Maternal depression is a risk factor for poor cognitive development. Inadequate diet will cause growth deficiencies. A child who does not respond to a loud noise probably has hearing loss, which will lead to a language deficit.
