Chapter 1 The Newborn Infant
- Which milestone is developmentally appropriate for a 2-month-old infant when the nurse pulls
the infant to a sitting position?
- Head lag is present when the infants trunk is lifted.
- The infant is able to support the head when the trunk is lifted.
- The infant is briefly able to hold the head erect.
- The infant is fully able to support and hold the head in a straight line.
ANS: C
A 2-month-old infant is able to hold the head erect only briefly and continues to have some head lag. It is not until 4 months of age that the infant can keep his or her head in a straight line when pulled to a sitting position.
- Approximately what should a newborn weigh at 1 year of age if the newborns birth weight
was 7 pounds 6 ounces?
- 14 3/4 pounds
- 22
- 29 1/2 pounds
- Unable to estimate weight at 1 year
1/8 pounds
ANS: B
An infant triples the birth weight by 1 year of age. An infant doubles the birth weight by 6 months of age. An infant quadruples the birth weight by 2 years of age. Weight at 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years of age can be estimated from the birth weight. 3 / 4

his name.
position or pull to stand.
ANS: B
Critical developmental milestones for gross motor development in a 12 month old include standing briefly without support, getting to a sitting position, and pulling to stand. If a 12-month- old child does not perform these activities, it may be indicative of a developmental delay. An infant who responds to his name at 9 months of age is demonstrating abilities to both hear and interpret sound. A social smile is present by 2 months of age. Rolling over in both directions is not a critical milestone for gross motor development until the child reaches 6 months of age.
- At a healthy 2-month-old infants well-child clinic visit, the nurse should give which
immunizations?
- DTaP, IPV, HepB, Hib, PCV, rotavirus
- MMR, DTaP, PVC, and IPV
- Hib, DTaP, rotavirus, and OPV
- Hib and MMR, IPV, and rotavirus
ANS: A
DTaP, IPV, HepB, Hib, PCV, and rotavirus are the appropriate sequence of immunizations for a healthy 2-month-old infant. MMR is given at or after 12 months of age. Oral polio vaccine (OPV) is no longer administered in the U.S.
- The nurse advises the mother of a 3-month-old infant, exclusively breast-fed, to:
- start giving the infant a vitamin D supplement.
