    The nurse practitioner is conducting an injury prevention class for children between age 7 and 11 years. Which recommendation should NOT be part of teaching this age group?

    Explanation & Rationale

    Rationale: A. Wearing lap and shoulder belts is essential for all passengers, including children, to reduce injury risk in car accidents. B. Bicycle helmets significantly decrease the risk of head injury and should always be worn by children while riding. C. Children under 13 years of age are generally safer in the backseat than the front seat due to airbag risks. D. Using a multipurpose lighter to ignite fireworks is unsafe and should never be recommended to children. Fireworks should only be handled by adults, and children should be taught not to light fireworks themselves to prevent burns, eye injuries, or accidental fires.
