A nurse is reviewing safety measures with a group of parents to prevent burn injuries for toddlers. Which of the following safety measures should the nurse include in the teaching?
Keep electrical wires hidden from view.
Encourage outdoor activities between the hours of 1100 and 1300.
Set the water heater to 60°C (140°F).
Turn pot handles toward the front of the stove.
The Correct Answer is A
Choice A rationale
Keeping electrical wires hidden from view is essential to prevent toddlers from pulling on them, which can lead to electrical burns or other injuries. It is a proactive measure to ensure a safe environment for children who are naturally curious and prone to exploring with their hands.
Choice B rationale
Encouraging outdoor activities between the hours of 1100 and 1300 can expose toddlers to the sun’s peak intensity, increasing the risk of sunburn. It is safer to encourage outdoor activities outside these hours when the sun is less intense.
Choice C rationale
Setting the water heater to 60°C (140°F) is too high and poses a scalding risk. The recommended temperature to prevent burns is 49°C (120°F), which is hot enough for household use but not so hot as to cause immediate burns upon contact.
Choice D rationale
Turning pot handles toward the front of the stove is dangerous as it increases the risk of toddlers reaching up and pulling hot contents onto themselves. The correct practice is to turn pot handles toward the back of the stove to keep them out of reach of children.

Correct Answer is B
Explanation
Choice A rationale
Blood should not be stored at room temperature for more than 30 minutes. The second unit should be stored in a blood bank refrigerator until needed.
Choice B rationale
Each unit of blood should be infused within 4 hours to reduce the risk of bacterial contamination.
Choice C rationale
RBCs should be administered using filtered IV tubing to prevent the infusion of clots and other debris.
Choice D rationale
Dextrose 5% in water should not be used during the infusion of packed RBCs as it can cause hemolysis.
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
Choice A rationale
Odorless urine is not a specific indicator of effective treatment for acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis (APSGN)16.
Choice B rationale
A temperature of 37.2°C (99°F) is within the normal range and does not specifically indicate effective treatment for APSGN16.
Choice C rationale
No report of pain with voiding is not a specific indicator of effective treatment for APSGN16.
Choice D rationale
Clear urine indicates that the hematuria (blood in urine) has resolved, which is a sign of effective treatment for APSGN1617.
