Passage / Scenario
School-age child learning about bicycle safetyA nurse is teaching the parent of a school-age child about bicycle safety. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
The correct answer is B: Your child should walk the bicycle through intersections. This is the safest practice to ensure the child's safety at intersections where visibility might be reduced and potential dangers exist. Walking the bicycle allows the child to have better control and reaction time in case of unexpected situations.
Choice A is incorrect because keeping the bicycle 3 feet from the curb may not always be feasible or safe, as it depends on traffic conditions and road width.
Choice C is incorrect as the child should ride the bicycle with the flow of traffic to follow traffic laws and avoid accidents.
Choice D is incorrect as the child's feet should be able to touch the ground comfortably when seated on the bicycle for stability and control.
