Question

A nurse is collecting data from a 12-month-old infant during a well-child visit. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?

(a) The infant's weight is in the 95th percentile for age and length.

(b) The infant is not using any single words.

(c) The infant is not standing while holding onto furniture.

(d) The infant is not able to drink from a cup using both hands.

Answer 1

The nurse should report that the infant is not using any single words to the provider.

Step-by-step explanation:

The nurse should report finding (b) to the provider, which is that the infant is not using any single words. At 12 months old, infants should typically have started using single words to communicate. Delayed language development can be a cause for concern and may need further evaluation by the provider.
