Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The infant should be holding the head up well by 5 months of age. If head lag is present at 6 months, the child should undergo further evaluation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Because development is cephalocaudal, of these choices, lifting the head and shoulders is the one that the infant learns to do first. The infant can usually sit with support at about 5 months of age and can sit alone at about 8 months.
