A 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?
Your child should keep the bicycle at least 3 feet from the curb while riding in the street.
Your child should walk the bicycle through intersections.
Your child should ride the bicycle against the flow of traffic.
Your child's feet should be 3 to 6 inches off the ground when seated on the bicycle.
The Correct Answer is B
Your child should walk the bicycle through intersections.
Walking the bicycle through intersections can help increase the child’s visibility and reduce the risk of accidents.
Choice A is wrong because it’s important for the child to ride as far to the right as possible, not 3 feet from the curb.
Choice C is wrong because the child should always ride with the flow of traffic, not against it.
Choice D is wrong because when seated on the bicycle, the child’s feet should be able to touch the ground.

When a child ingests a toxic dose of acetylsalicylic acid, it can lead to salicylate toxicity, which can cause hyperpyrexia (high fever), among other symptoms such as vomiting, tinnitus, confusion, and dehydration. Hyperpyrexia is a serious complication that can lead to neurological damage and is a medical emergency that requires prompt intervention.
The nurse should monitor the child's temperature and administer antipyretic medications as necessary to reduce the fever.
Choice B is wrong because Polyuria, is not a common symptom of acute acetylsalicylic acid poisoning.
Salicylate toxicity can cause dehydration due to vomiting, which can lead to decreased urine output.

Choice B is wrong because there are no instructions to apply lotion to the skin under the straps.
Choice D is wrong because the duration of treatment will be determined by your doctor and may vary.
