The nurse has been providing nutritional guidance to the parents of an 18-month-old. The comment by a parent that would prompt the nurse to provide the parent with further education is
1. "We allow our child to drink applecider only if it has been pasteurized."
2. "We take the meat out of the freezerand then allow it to thaw on the counter for two to three hours before cooking it thoroughly."
3. "We always wash our hands wellbefore any food preparation."
4. "We use separate utensils forpreparing raw meat and preparing fruits,vegetables,and other foods."
Answer:2
Rationale: All the other practices—washing hands,separate utensils,and not serving unpasteurized apple cider—help to prevent infection with foodborne pathogens. Allowing meat to sit out on a counter may cause the bacteria counts to increase quickly,and cooking the meat may not effectively destroy all of the bacteria.Frozen meat should be thawed in the refrigerator prior to cooking.
