A nurse is performing a developmental assessment on several children in a clinic setting. Which children exhibit a delay in meeting developmental milestones? (Select all that apply.)
1. A 5-year-old who is unable to button his shirt
2. A 2-year-old who is unable to cut with scissors
3. A 2-year-old who cannot recite her phone number
4. A 6-year-old who is unable to sit still for a short story
5. An 18-month-old toddler who is unable to speak in sentences
1. A 5-year-old who is unable to button his shirt
4. A 6-year-old who is unable to sit still for a short story
Rationale:
A 5-year-old should be able to button his shirt. A 6-year-old should be able to sit still for a short story; this is a task that children between 3and 5 years are typically able to do. A child who cannot cut with scissors by kindergarten age is considered developmentally delayed, but a 2-year-old is not expected to be able to do this. A 2-year-old is not expected to be able to recite a phone number. An 18-month-old is not usually able to speak in sentences; this is a skill to be accomplished by the age of 2½ years.
