Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching about safety recommendations for car seats with the parents of a 24-month- old toddler who is in the 50th percentile for height and weight. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Position the toddler rear-facing in the middle of the back seat. This is the safest option for a 24-month-old toddler as it provides optimal protection in the event of a crash. Rear-facing car seats offer better support for the child's head, neck, and spine, reducing the risk of injury in a frontal collision. Placing the car seat in the middle of the back seat provides the most distance from potential impact areas, further enhancing safety.
Incorrect choices:
A: Positioning a booster seat forward-facing in the middle of the back seat is not appropriate for a 24-month-old toddler.
C: Placing a convertible seat forward-facing in the front passenger side and inactivating the airbag is not recommended as it may still pose a risk in the event of a crash.
D: Positioning a convertible seat rear-facing in the front passenger side is also not recommended as rear-facing seats should be placed in the back seat for optimal safety.
