    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. Setting the water heater to 60° C (140° F) is unsafe, as water temperatures above 49° C (120° F) can cause serious burns in a short period of time. B. Turning pot handles toward the front of the stove increases the risk of the toddler pulling the pot off the stove or touching it. C. Encouraging outdoor activities during peak sunlight hours (1100 to 1300) increases the risk of sunburn, not burn injuries from heat sources. D. Keeping electrical wires hidden from view helps prevent toddlers from pulling or chewing on them, reducing the risk of electric burns or shocks.
