Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing the fontanels of an infant. Which of the following findings should the nurse recognize as an expected finding?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: The anterior fontanel is open. The anterior fontanel is typically open in infants to allow for brain growth and development. It is a normal finding during infancy and should close by around 18 months of age.
Choice A is incorrect because the posterior fontanel closes shortly after birth.
Choice C is incorrect because the fontanels are not expected to be the same size; the anterior fontanel is larger than the posterior fontanel.
Choice D is incorrect because the presence of molars in the fontanels would not be expected and could indicate a medical issue.
