Extract:
A nurse is teaching the parent of a school-age child about bicycle safety.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: This is incorrect because the child's feet should be able to touch the ground comfortably when seated on the bicycle for balance and control. Riding against the flow of traffic is dangerous and increases accident risk. Walking the bicycle through intersections ensures visibility and reduces collision risk. Keeping the bicycle 3 feet from the curb is not standard; children should ride close to the curb with traffic flow.
