Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nurse should identify that the child is lagging in development, specifically in their gross motor skills, as they are not meeting the expected milestone of being able to stand and pull themselves up at 16 months old. Growth, height, and behavior may also be assessed during a well-child checkup, but they are not relevant to this specific concern.
