Use all the steps.)
Answer & explanation
Correct:
Gross motor development in infancy follows a cephalocaudal and proximal-to-distal pattern. Rolling from back to side occurs around 4 months. Rolling from back to abdomen occurs around 5–6 months. Sitting steadily without support occurs around 7–8 months. Changing from a prone position to sitting occurs around 9–10 months. This sequence reflects the progressive development of trunk and core strength, with each milestone building upon the previous one. Understanding these milestones allows nurses to assess developmental progress and educate parents on expected achievements during the first year of life.
