When the home health nurse visits the home of a 10-month-old child, she observes the environment for risks for injury to the child. Which observation will the nurse discuss with the mother?
1. The mother leaves the filled mop bucket on the floor while in another room.

3. The mother fills the bath tub before bringing the baby into the bathroom.
4. When riding in a car, the child is in a car seat in the middle of the back seat.

Rationale 1: Toddlers can drown in a minimum amount of water. The child may look in the bucket and fall in head first. Because of mobility limitations, the child may not be able to get out of the bucket without help.
Rationale 2: This is appropriate to reduce the risk of injury.
Rationale 3: This allows the mother to adjust the temperature of the bath water and reduces the risk of burns.
Rationale 4: This is the safest place for the child.
