Two working parents are discussing with the school nurse the possibility of their 12-year-old girl going home alone after school. What suggestion should the nurse make?
A) Provide entertainment until the parents come home.
B) Allow the child to go to a friend's house.
C) Teach her how to take a message if someone calls.
D) Purchase caller ID for the phone.
Ans: D
Having caller ID allows the child to answer the phone if Mom or Dad calls while ignoring all other calls. Rather than entertaining the child, this would be a better time for homework, age-appropriate chores, and limited entertainment. If the child goes to a friend's house, it should be prearranged between the parents, not spur of the moment. It is safer if the child does not answer the phone instead of taking a message.
