    A nurse is collecting data from a 3-year-old child. Which of the following developmental milestones should the nurse expect the child to demonstrate?

    Explanation & Rationale

    Choice A reason: Using four words in a sentence is an appropriate developmental milestone for a 3-year-old child. By this age, children typically have a vocabulary that allows them to form short sentences and express themselves. Choice B reason: Tying shoelaces is a fine motor skill that is typically developed later, around 5-6 years of age. Choice C reason: Skipping on alternate feet is a gross motor skill that is typically developed around 4-5 years of age. Choice D reason: Naming the days of the week is a cognitive skill that is typically developed later, around 5-6 years of age. It involves not only memory but also an understanding of the concept of days and their order.
