Question 1 of 5
Which characteristic best describes the fine motor skills of an infant at age 5 months?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: By 5 months, infants develop the ability to grasp objects voluntarily, showing improved motor control. The neat pincer grasp and building towers are skills that develop later.
Question 2 of 5
A breastfed infant is being seen in the clinic for a 6-month checkup. The mother tells the nurse that the infant recently began to suck her thumb. Which is the best nursing intervention?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Thumb sucking is a normal self-soothing behavior in infants and usually does not indicate a problem. Reassuring the mother that this is normal is the appropriate response.
Question 3 of 5
An infant, age 6 months, has six teeth. The nurse should recognize that this is what?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Having six teeth at 6 months is earlier than the typical tooth eruption schedule, but it is not unusual or dangerous. It is within the range of normal variations in infant development.
Question 4 of 5
At an 8-month-old well-baby visit, the parent tells the nurse that her infant falls asleep at night during the last bottle feeding but wakes up when moved to the infant's crib. What is the most appropriate response for the nurse to make?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Encouraging the baby to fall asleep in the crib while still awake can help establish healthy sleep habits and reduce night waking.

What may be a clinical manifestation of failure to thrive (FTT) in a 13-month-old include?
