A nurse is teaching parents about safety issues to prevent injuries in school-age children. Which of the following statements by the parents indicates that they require additional teaching?
"We will use a booster seat until our child is tall enough for the seatbelt to fit properly."
"Once transitioned into a booster seat, we will allow our child to ride in the front seat of the car."
"We will ensure our child wears a helmet while riding a bicycle."
"We will teach our child to avoid running into the street without looking."
The Correct Answer is B
A. Using a booster seat until the child reaches the appropriate height for a seatbelt is correct and aligns with safety guidelines for child passengers.
B. Allowing a child to ride in the front seat while still using a booster seat is unsafe; children should remain in the back seat until they are at least 13 years old.
C. Ensuring that the child wears a helmet while riding a bicycle is an important safety measure and demonstrates understanding of injury prevention.
D. Teaching the child to avoid running into the street without looking shows awareness of pedestrian safety and the need for supervision and education about traffic safety.
