The home health nurse is visiting a family and talking with the parent outside the bathroom door while the toddlers are playing in the tub. The nurse concludes that more teaching is needed when the parent states:
1. "Let me get the children out of the tub so we can talk.".
2. "Why don't we talk in the bathroom?"
3. "I often put the children in the tub to play.".
4. "I do not like to leave the children alone in the bathroom.".
3. "I often put the children in the tub to play.".
Rationale:
Toddlers are at risk for drowning, even in small amounts of water. The nurse would want to teach the parent who uses the tub as a place for toddlers to play unsupervised. Taking the children out of the tub or talking in the bathroom demonstrates an awareness of the need for supervision for toddlers. The parent who does not leave toddlers along in the bathroom is also demonstrating an awareness of risk.
