The nurse should suspect a child has cerebral palsy (CP) if the parent says what?
a. "My 6-month-old baby is rolling from back to prone now."
b. "My 4-month-old doesn't lift his head when on his tummy."
c. "My 8-month-old can sit without support."
d. "My 10-month-old is not walking."
ANS: B
Delayed gross motor development is a universal manifestation of CP. The child shows a delay in all motor accomplishments, and the discrepancy between motor ability and expected achievement tends to increase with successive developmental milestones as growth advances. The infant who does not lift his head when on the tummy is showing a gross motor delay, as that is seen at 0 to 3 months. The other statements are within normal growth and development expectations.
