Which of the following is an immediate priority for a child age 4 undergoing a developmental assessment?

Child cannot draw a simple shape
Child cannot jump rope
Child cannot sit quietly for 30 minutes
Child cannot use a fork and spoon

The correct answer is: Child cannot draw a simple shape

A child undergoing a developmental assessment at the age of 4 should be able to draw a simple shape. This is considered an immediate priority as it is an important milestone in a child's cognitive and fine motor development. Option B, not being able to jump rope, is not an immediate priority as it is a complex and advanced physical skill that is not typically expected at this age. Option C, not being able to sit quietly for 30 minutes, may be a concern for behavioral or attention issues, but it is not as crucial as a child's ability to perform basic developmental tasks. Option D, not being able to use a fork and spoon, may be a concern for motor skills and self-feeding abilities, but it is not as pressing as a child's cognitive and fine motor development.
