The nurse is assessing a 4-month-old boy during a scheduled visit. Which findings might suggest a developmental problem?
A) The child does not babble.
B) The child does not vocally respond to voices.
C) The child never squeals or yells.
D) The child does not say dada or mama.
Ans: B
The fact that the child does not vocally respond to voices might suggest a developmental problem. At 4 to 5 months of age most children are making simple vowel sounds, laughing aloud, doing raspberries, and vocalizing in response to voices. The child is too young to babble, squeal, yell, or say dada or mama.
