The nurse is teaching a new mother developmental expectations. Which activity should the nurse expect a newborn to do within the first month of life?
1. Bring hands to eyes and mouth.
2. Push up with hands, moving chest up.
3. Keep hands in a relaxed position.
4. Roll over from back to abdomen.
Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: Newborns at one month of age can bring hands to their eyes and mouths, move their heads from side to side when lying on their abdomens, and attempt to lift their heads only when prone. Newborn hands are kept in tight fist position, and the newborn cannot roll over until 4 months of age.
