Answer: A. 120 F (49 C) or lower
Setting the water heater at 120 F (49 C) or lower reduces the risk of serious scald burns in children.
Answer: B. The child's parents will not leave the child alone while in the hospital.
If abuse has occurred, the abuser often will not leave the child in a situation where the child may talk to a health care worker and tell him or her what happened. A 10-year-old child will be able to cope with being left by parents, so continuous contact by the parents is not necessary. Having friends visit is typical for a 10-year-old. Peer acceptance is important at this age. School is very important to the 10-year-old who is meeting the developmental stage of industry. A parent leaving to be with the child's siblings is appropriate. A 10-year-old child can manage in the hospital without constant parental attention.
Answer: C. Inquire about the circumstances of the ingestion
A. This is not the time to teach about childproofing the home. The parent will feel guilty, and anxiety would prevent the parent from remembering the advice. B. The most therapeutic approach is to inquire about the circumstances of the ingestion in a nonjudgmental manner. C. Ipecac is no longer recommended to be kept in the home because of the increasing number of medications where its use is contraindicated. All households should have the Poison Control number beside a telephone or on speed-dial. D. Do not give the child an emetic medication unless instructed to do so by Poison Control or a health-care provider.
Answer: C. Are the child's immunizations up to date?
Schools require documentation of immunizations.
Answer: D. The family is socially isolated
Research indicates that there are three sets of factors that place families at risk for child abuse and neglect: parental characteristics, child characteristics, and family ecosystem characteristics. Familial factors include the family's level of stress, social isolation of the family, a patriarchal (male-dominated) household, and history of abuse in the nuclear or extended family.
