Cevap
The statement expecting a 5-month-old infant to start pulling up to a standing position is incorrect and indicates a need for additional developmental teaching.
The practical nurse must identify the statement that reflects a misunderstanding of health promotion principles. The statement regarding a 5-month-old infant pulling up to a standing position is incorrect. According to standard pediatric developmental milestones, infants typically begin pulling up to a stand while holding onto furniture between 9 and 10 months of age. At 5 months, expected gross motor skills include rolling over and sitting with support. The parent's unrealistic expectation requires immediate additional teaching by the nurse to ensure appropriate developmental monitoring and to prevent potential parental frustration or safety hazards.
