A nurse is assessing infants for visually related developmental milestones. The infant that is showing a delay in meeting an expected milestone is the
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.
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 raisins by raking are all showing appropriate visually related milestones.
