The home health nurse talking with the parent outside the bathroom door while the toddlers are playing in the tub. Which client statement would require further safety teaching?
A) "Why don't we talk in the living room?"
B) "Let me get the children out of the tub so we can talk."
C) "I do not like to leave the children alone in the bathroom."
D) "I often bathe the children together."
Answer: A
Toddlers are at risk for drowning, even in small amounts of water. The nurse would want to teach the parent that it is never appropriate to leave the toddlers unsupervised in the tub. Taking the children out of the tub and a parent that does not want to leave toddlers alone in the bathroom demonstrates an awareness of risk. There is no risk with bathing the children together.
