A nurse is assessing language development in all the infants presenting at the doctor's office for well-child visits. The child who would be expected to be verbalizing the words "dada" and "mama" is the child between the ages of:
1. 3 and 5 months.
2. 6 and 8 months.
3. 9 and 12 months.
4. 13 and 18 months.

Rationale:
1. Both the 3–5-month-old range and 6–8-month-old ranges are too early to expect an infant to verbalize words.
2. Both the 3–5-month-old range and 6–8-month-old ranges are too early to expect an infant to verbalize words.
3. A child should be able to verbalize "mama" or "dada" to identify her parents by 1 year of age.
4. By 18 months, if a child is unable to verbalize "dada" and "mama", the child should be further evaluated.
