You make a well-child home visit to a family whose 5-year-old child is swimming alone in the parents' backyard. The parents believe that it is acceptable to let the child swim alone. What would you tell the parents?
1. "Drowning, usually as a result of inadequate adult supervision, is a leading cause of death among preschool- and school-aged children."
2. "Drowning occurs among preschool- and school-aged children, but they are a rarity."
3. "Drowning is a problem of school-aged children, so make sure your child has advanced swimming lessons."
4. Because the child knows how to swim and the child's parents trust the child, you offer no advice.
