💊 NCLEX-RN Exam Prep

A nurse is performing a 12-month well-child check-up. Which developmental milestone, if absent, would warrant further assessment?

A Taking a few steps independently.
B Saying 'mama' or 'dada' specifically.
C Waving goodbye.
D Drinking from a sippy cup unassisted.

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

While other options are common at 12 months, saying specific words like 'mama' or 'dada' with meaning is a key language milestone. Absence might indicate a need for further speech/language assessment.
