A pediatric nurse is assessing a patient for a routine physical. The nurse identifies that the parents need additional safety teaching when the parents mentions which of the following?
a. A 2-year-old child can safely sit in the front seat of a car.
b. Teenagers need to practice safe sex.
c. Children need to wear a helmet and safety pads when in-line skating.
d. Children need to learn to swim even if parents do not have a swimming pool.
A
A 2-year old cannot sit in the front seat safely, so the nurse needs to correct this misinformation. All children 2 years or older, or those younger than 2 years who have outgrown the rear-facing weight or height limit for their car safety seat (CSS), should use a forward-facing CSS with a harness for as long as possible, up to the highest weight or height allowed by the manufacturer of their CSS. Teenagers practicing safe sex, children wearing a helmet and safety pads when skating, and children learning to swim even if a home pool is not present are all correct and do not need additional teaching.
