Injury Prevention and safety

Injury Prevention and safety ( 10 Questions)

A nurse is providing safety instructions to parents of a toddler. What advice should the nurse give regarding car seat safety?


Correct Answer: C

A. Using a forward-facing car seat for infants under one year old is not safe. Infants should be placed in rear-facing car seats until they outgrow the seat's height and weight limits.

B. Placing the car seat in the front passenger seat is not safe, especially if the car is equipped with airbags. The back seat is the safest location for a car seat.

C. Securing the toddler in a rear-facing car seat until they reach the height and weight limit specified by the seat's manufacturer is the recommended practice for optimal safety.

D. Allowing the toddler to sit on an adult's lap is not safe during car rides. Children should be secured in appropriate car seats or boosters

based on their age, height, and weight.
