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.
