To test for gross motor skill and coordination of a 6-year-old child, which of these techniques would be appropriate? Ask the child to:
a. Hop on one foot.
b. Stand on his head.
c. Touch his finger to his nose.
d. Make "funny" faces at the nurse.
ANS: A
Normally, a child can hop on one foot and can balance on one foot for approximately 5 seconds by 4 years of age and can balance on one foot for 8 to 10 seconds at 5 years of age. Children enjoy performing these tests. Failure to hop after 5 years of age indicates incoordination of gross motor skills. Asking the child to touch his or her finger to the nose checks fine motor coordination; and asking the child to make "funny" faces tests CN VII. Asking a child to stand on his or her head is not appropriate.
