A home health nurse assesses a home after the birth of an infant. A toddler also lives in the home. Which finding requires follow-up?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
The correct answer is A because plastic grocery bags stored under the counter pose a suffocation hazard for the toddler. This finding requires follow-up to ensure the bags are kept out of reach. Choices B, C, and D are not immediate safety concerns. Electric outlets covered prevent electrical hazards, no bumper pads in the crib reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, and crib slats being 5 cm apart meet safety standards.
