Pediatrics Proctored exam
The nurse is teaching the mother of a toddler about burn prevention. Which response by the mother indicates a need for further teaching?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Flame-retardant sleepwear reduces the risk of clothing catching fire and is recommended for toddlers. B. This indicates a need for further teaching. The recommended water heater temperature for homes with young children is 120 degrees Fahrenheit or lower. Temperatures above 120°F can cause serious burns in toddlers within seconds. C. Keeping pot handles turned inward prevents toddlers from grabbing or knocking hot pots, reducing the risk of scald burns. D. Toddlers should never handle fireworks because they pose a high risk of burns and injuries. Watching professional displays is the safest option.
