Learning to walk is a developmental task during infancy. Infants typically learn to walk sometime between 9 and 15 months of age. Tolerating separation from the primary caregiver, using words to communicate, and asserting independence are developmental tasks that occur later in childhood.

Middle adulthood is the period between early adulthood and late adulthood.

Accepted Answer

At 1 month of age, an infant can hold her head up for short periods when held upright. The other milestones, such as holding an object, rolling over, and babbling, typically occur later in development.

Question 5

At what age are solid foods initially given to infants?&#10;A)At 6 months&#10;B)At 9 months&#10;C)At 10 to 11 months&#10;D)At 1 year

Accepted Answer

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, infants are typically ready for solid foods at around 6 months of age, when they have developed the necessary coordination to indicate that they are ready to eat solid foods, such as being able to hold their head up and sit up with support. Introducing solids earlier than 6 months may increase the risk of food allergies and digestive problems.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

The skin of the average newborn is often wrinkled due to their position in the womb and the protective coating called vernix that can make their skin appear wrinkled or peeling after birth.

Question 7

Newborns are born with certain reflexes.Which reflex guides the baby's mouth to the nipple?&#10;A)The sucking reflex&#10;B)The rooting reflex&#10;C)The Moro reflex&#10;D)The grasping reflex

Accepted Answer

The rooting reflex is the one that guides a baby's mouth to the nipple by prompting them to turn their head and open their mouth when something touches or strokes their cheek or mouth area. The sucking reflex is what enables the baby to suck and swallow milk once they have latched onto the nipple, while the Moro reflex is a startle reflex and the grasping reflex causes the baby to grasp onto an object placed in their palm. Therefore, the best choice is B, the rooting reflex.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Performing self-care is more associated with later childhood stages, as toddlers are still developing basic skills and rely heavily on caregivers for self-care tasks.

Accepted Answer

Late childhood is the time when children start developing a deeper understanding of sexuality and their bodies. It is important for them to be provided with factual sex education to help them make informed decisions and understand the changes happening in their bodies. Choices A, C, and D are not universally applicable and can vary based on culture, family dynamics, and individual differences.

Question 10

Which of the following is a principle of growth and development?&#10;A)The process starts at fertilization and ends in puberty.&#10;B)The process proceeds from the simple to the complex.&#10;C)The process proceeds from foot to head.&#10;D)The rate of the process is even and at a set pace.

Accepted Answer

The principle of growth and development that states that the process proceeds from the simple to the complex is known as cephalocaudal development. This means that development starts at the head and progresses down to the feet. This principle is evident in the physical development of infants, as they first gain control of their head and neck muscles before they can sit up, crawl, and walk.
