A nurse should assess the following developmental markers in a 9-month-old female infant: physical (gross and fine motor skills, walking), cognitive (understanding of simple commands, use of two-word phrases), social/emotional (interaction with adults and other children, recognizing caregivers), communication (babbling vowel sounds, responding to name or verbal cues) and self-care (feeding themselves with their hands). Additionally, the nurse should assess for any potential signs of developmental delay or red flags that could indicate a health issue.
