Answer 1

The nurse would be concerned if the child is not walking, still uses a bottle for drinking, and will not walk alone.

Step-by-step explanation:

The areas of the assessment which concern the nurse are as follows:

1. Not walking as other children are at this age: The nurse may be concerned about the child's motor development if they are not walking at their age.
2. Uses a bottle for drinking: The nurse may be concerned about the child's oral-motor development and speech if they are still using a bottle at their age.
3. Will not walk alone: The nurse may be concerned about the child's balance and coordination if they refuse to walk alone.
