The nurse is providing teaching about car safety to the parents of a 5-year-old girl who weighs 45 pounds. What should the nurse instruct the parents to do?
A) "Place her in a booster seat with lap and shoulder belts in the front seat.".
B) "Place her in the back seat with the lap and shoulder belts in place.".
C) "Place her in a forward-facing car seat with a harness and top tether.".
D) "Place her in a booster seat with lap and shoulder belts in the back seat.".
D
Feedback:
A child who weighs between 40 and 80 pounds should ride in a booster seat that utilizes both the lap and shoulder belts in the back seat. When a child is large enough to sit up straight with the knees bent at the front edge of the seat, then he or she may sit directly on the seat of the car with lap/shoulder belt securely and appropriately attached. The back seat of the car is the safest place for a child to ride. A forward-facing car seat with harness and top tether is for a preschooler who weighs less than 40 pounds.
