The nurse is assessing a child during a well-baby checkup. The parents express concern that their baby does not act as other babies of their friends
The nurse suspects the child may have cerebral palsy when the parents state which of the following? 1. "My 6-month-old baby is rolling from back to prone now.".
2. "My 3-month-old fails to smile at me.".
3. "My 8-month-old can sit without support.".
4. "My 10-month-old is not walking.".
2. "My 3-month-old fails to smile at me.".
Rationale:
Children with cerebral palsy are delayed in meeting developmental milestones. The infant who fails to smile at 3 months of age is showing a delay. The social smile usually appears at around 6 weeks of age. A baby rolls over from back to prone at 6 months, sits without support at 8 months, and walks at 12 months.
