The nurse is providing nutritional guidance to the parents of a toddler. Which comment by the parent would prompt the nurse to provide additional education?
1. "I should not give my child raw oysters."
2. "It is safe to leave my meat red in the center as long as there are no juices running."
3. "We always wash our hands well before any food preparation."
4. "We use separate utensils for preparing raw meat and preparing fruits, vegetables, and other foods."
Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: Meats should be cooked thoroughly before eating. Meat that is red in the center, with or without running juices, is insufficiently cooked and increases the risk of food-borne illness. Washing hands and using separate utensils help to prevent infection with food-borne pathogens. Raw oysters should be avoided.
