The nurse is performing a well-child exam on a child who turned 4 years old 3 months ago. What can the nurse ask the child to do to assess appropriate milestones for this age?
1. Jump up and down
2. Throw a ball
3. Stack three or more blocks
4. Draw lines on paper
Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: Jumping up and down, stacking three or more blocks, and drawing lines on paper are activities that represent milestones for young children. Throwing a ball and observing how it is thrown would assess a milestone for this age. By 4–5 years, a child begins to throw a ball overhand.
