A home health nurse is assessing a family's home after the birth of an infant. A toddler also lives in the home. Which finding will cause the nurse to follow up?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
The correct answer is A because storing plastic grocery bags under the counter poses a suffocation risk to the toddler. Toddlers could access the bags and potentially suffocate if they put a bag over their head. This finding requires immediate follow-up to ensure the safety of the child.
Choice B is incorrect because covering electric outlets is a safety measure for toddlers, not a cause for follow-up. Choice C is also incorrect because not having bumper pads in the crib is actually recommended for safe sleep practices. Choice D is incorrect as well since crib slats being 5 cm apart is within the safety guidelines.
