After teaching a mother how to remove a tick from her 6-year-old boy's arm, the nurse determines that additional teaching is needed when the mother makes what statement?

A. Placing a tick in a freezer is not recommended; if the tick needs to be saved for identification, it should be placed in a sealed container with rubbing alcohol to kill it. Freezing may not preserve it properly for identification. B. Grasping the tick close to the skin is correct because it reduces the risk of leaving mouthparts embedded and decreases disease transmission. C. Using a paper towel or gloves to protect fingers is appropriate to avoid direct contact with potentially infectious fluids from the tick. D. Pulling the tick straight out with steady, even pressure is correct technique to minimize skin trauma and reduce the risk of infection.
