An 11-year-old child must come home to an empty house each day after school. The nurse offers which of the following suggestions to maintain safety in this situation:
a. Have child memorize important numbers such as parent work numbers, emergency numbers, etc.
b. Instruct the child to only open the door to people that look normal or safe.
c. Teach child to tell phone callers that parents are busy rather than not at home
d. Instruct the child to go straight to the phone and call if they come home and find the door ajar
C
Safety numbers should be posted, rather than relying on the child's memory. The child should not open the door to anyone. It is not possible to tell by looking if someone is safe or not. Telling callers that the parents are busy is important so that the child does not let callers know that no adult is at home. Children should not enter the home if they find the door ajar. They should go to a neighbor's home and call.
