A nurse is assessing a 15-month-old toddler.Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Explanation & Rationale
The correct answer is Choice A.Choice A rationaleThe inability to stand upright without support at 15 months is a developmental delay that should be reported to the provider. By this age, most toddlers can stand and walk independently. Delays in motor skills can indicate underlying neurological or musculoskeletal issues.Choice B rationaleBuilding a tower of six to seven cubes is a skill typically developed by 24 months. At 15 months, a toddler may only be able to stack two to three cubes.Choice C rationaleJumping with both feet is a skill that develops around 24 to 36 months. It is not expected for a 15-month-old toddler to be able to jump with both feet.Choice D rationaleTurning a doorknob is a fine motor skill that develops around 24 to 36 months. It is not expected for a 15-month-old toddler to have this skill.
