The nurse observes a toddler riding a tricycle and decides that the parents need additional safety education. What did the nurse observe?
A) Toddler wearing a helmet
B) Toddler wearing long pants
C) Toddler wearing tennis shoes
D) Toddler not wearing a helmet
D
Feedback:
Toddlers need to wear a helmet as soon as they begin riding a tricycle. Parents are not as conscientious about using helmets as they are for bicycle riding so this is an area where health teaching is necessary. Wearing a helmet would be expected, and the nurse would not need to provide additional safety education for the parents. Long pants and tennis shoes do not pose a safety issue.
