2024 PN NCLEX Questions Nursing Practice Question
Which of the following developmental milestones for a 6-month-old child should be screened by the nurse during a routine office visit?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: At 6 months, rolling over is a key developmental milestone that indicates appropriate motor skill development. This skill typically emerges around this age, making it essential for assessment.
Option A, standing while holding something, generally develops later, around 9 months, and is not expected at 6 months. Option C, sitting up, usually occurs between 6 to 8 months but is less reliable as a screening milestone at 6 months. Option D, creeping, or moving on hands and knees, typically appears closer to 8 to 10 months and is not yet expected at 6 months. Thus, rolling over is the most appropriate milestone to screen at this age.
