    PN Comprehensive Predictor 2023 Proctored Exam

    Exhibits A nurse is collecting data from a 6-month-old infant during a well-child visit. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider? (Click on the exhibit tabs for additional information about the client. There are three tabs that contain separate categories of data)

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Gross motor skills: Rolling from abdomen to back, playing with feet, smiling responsively, and turning toward sounds are expected developmental milestones at 6 months of age. These findings indicate appropriate gross motor, social, and sensory development. B. Temperature: A temperature of 37.4° C (99.3° F) is within the normal range for an infant. This finding does not suggest infection or illness and does not require provider notification. C. Weight: At 6 months of age, an infant is expected to have approximately doubled their birth weight. This infant weighed 3.6 kg at birth and currently weighs 5.9 kg, which suggests inadequate weight gain and should be reported for further evaluation. D. Feeding habits: Breastfeeding combined with small amounts of cereal and fruit three times daily is appropriate for a 6-month-old infant. There is no indication from the feeding history alone that intake is inappropriate.
