A 10-month-old child is seen in the well baby clinic. Which assessment finding by the nurse indicates a need for further neurological evaluation?

ExplanationA child who is 10 months of age should have been sitting without support for several months. This sign indicates a developmental lag and the need for further assessment. The ability to crawl is usually acquired between 9 and 12 months. Saying two to four words is normal for a child of 10 months. The development of the pincer grasp is refined by 11 months of age. It is normal for a 10-month-old child to use a crude pincer grasp.
