    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?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. This temperature is too high and can cause severe burns. The recommended water heater temperature is 120° F (49° C) or lower. B. Toddlers are curious and may explore electrical outlets and cords, leading to burns or electrocution. Keeping wires out of sight is essential. C. Turning pot handles toward the front of the stove increases the risk of a toddler pulling on them, causing spills and burns. Handles should be turned inward. D. This time frame is when the sun's rays are strongest, increasing the risk of sunburn. Outdoor activities should be scheduled during cooler parts of the day or when the sun is less intense.
