Mr. Jones has brought in his son Johnny for a 15-month-old well-child visit, and his biggest concern is that his son does not walk yet. You note that in his electronic medical record, he was born at 35 weeks’ gestation via emergency C-section and was discharged 2 weeks later.
What fine motor and gross motor skills should the APRN expect a 15-month-old toddler to perform? Should Matthew be able to perform those skills as well? Why or why not?
What type of screening test(s) should the APRN utilize to assess Matthew’s current motor skills?
What type of anticipatory guidance and support should the APRN provide to monitor and encourage Matthew’s continued physical development?
