Question 3 of 5
You're assessing a 4-month-old infant. Which finding below is a normal milestone that should be reached by this infant at this age?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Pincer grasp: The pincer grasp, which involves using the thumb and forefinger to pick up small objects, typically develops around 8 to 12 months of age, not at 4 months. Rolls from tummy to back: At 4 months, many infants start to develop the ability to roll from their tummy to their back. This is a typical milestone for this age and reflects developing motor skills. Walks with support: Walking with support usually begins around 9 to 12 months of age, much later than 4 months. Rolls from back to tummy: Rolling from back to tummy typically occurs a bit later, often around 5 to 6 months. At 4 months, rolling from tummy to back is the more expected milestone.

Question 5 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client who has strained her back muscles while preparing to move to a new apartment. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Bend at the knees when picking up an object: This technique helps distribute the weight of the object and reduces strain on the back muscles. Relax her abdominal muscles when she lifts an object: Tensing the abdominal muscles can provide core support, but relaxing them while lifting can increase the risk of injury. Twist at the waist when she moves an object to one side: Twisting at the waist can strain the back muscles and should be avoided. Hold an object away from her body as she lifts it: Holding objects close to the body reduces strain on the back muscles and is a good technique to prevent injury.
