When teaching a mother how to prevent accidents while caring for her 6-month-old, the nurse should emphasize that this age child can usually:
  1. Sit up
  2. Roll over
  3. Crawl lengthy distances
  4. Stand while holding onto furniture
Explanation
Answer: B- Muscular coordination and perception are developed enough at 6 months so that infant can roll over. If unaware of this ability of the infant, the mother could leave the child unattended for a moment to reach for something and the child could roll off the crib.
