B) The child will experience many moody periods.
C) The child will expect things to be done a certain way.
D) The child should be able to turn over onto the back at age 4 months.
D
Feedback:
Infants typically turn over from the front to back at age 4 months. Fear of strangers will not occur until 7 months. The nurse has no way of knowing the infant's temperament to determine that the child will be moody or when the child will expect things to be done a certain way.
