The nurse is collecting data about a baby in the well-baby clinic. The nurse reads in the electronic medical record that cephalocaudal direction movements are present. What are examples of cephalocaudal direction movements?
1 . Lift head before sitting
2 . Sit before walking
3 . Roll over before grasping objects
4 . Make sounds before being able to walk
A) 1, 2
B) 1, 4
C) 2, 3
D) 3, 4
B
Feedback:
Movements such as lifting the head before sitting up and making sounds before being able to walk are in the cephalocaudal direction. Proximodistal means from the center to the outside. Following this, babies are likely to roll over before they grasp small objects. Growth and development also progress from simple to complex; following this principle, babies are more likely to sit before learning to walk.
