A nurse is assessing a 3-month-old infant. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?

Inability to bring an object to her mouth.

Inability to raise head when in the prone position.

Inability to pick up an object with her fingers.

Inability to sit without support.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

A.   At 3 months, infants might not consistently bring objects to their mouths, and this skill might still be developing, so it might not be a cause for immediate concern.
B.   By 3 months, most infants should be able to raise their head when placed in a prone position; failure to do so might indicate a developmental delay.
C.   Picking up objects with fingers is a skill that typically develops closer to 6 to 9 months; thus, it's not expected at 3 months.
D.   Sitting without support usually begins around 6 to 7 months, so it's not an expected skill at 3 months and wouldn't necessarily be concerning yet.
