r>33. A nurse is providing teaching to a parent of a child who has HIV.
Which of the following statements by the parent indicates an understanding of the teaching?

The correct answer is choiceA. Your child should walk the bicycle through intersections.

Choice A rationale:

Walking the bicycle through intersections is a key safety measure to prevent accidents.It ensures that the child is more visible to drivers and reduces the risk of collisions.

Choice B rationale:

This is incorrect because the child’s feet should be able to touch the ground comfortably when seated on the bicycle, but not necessarily three to six inches off the ground.Proper seat height is crucial for balance and control.

Choice C rationale:

Keeping the bicycle at least three feet from the curb is not a standard safety recommendation.Instead, children should ride as close to the curb as safely possible, following the flow of traffic.

Choice D rationale:

Riding against the flow of traffic is dangerous and increases the risk of accidents.Bicyclists should always ride with the flow of traffic to be more predictable to drivers.

Choice A rationale

Washing the site with alcohol prior to applying the cream is not recommended. Alcohol can cause skin irritation and dryness, which may increase the discomfort during the procedure.

Choice B rationale

Rubbing the cream into the skin is not advised. The cream should be applied in a thick layer and not spread on the skin. Rubbing the cream can cause it to absorb into the skin too quickly and reduce its numbing effect.

Choice C rationale

Applying the cream 1 hour before the procedure is the correct action. Lidocaine and prilocaine cream should be applied at least 1 hour before the procedure to ensure adequate numbing of the skin.

Choice D rationale

The cream should not be left on the skin during the procedure. The healthcare provider will remove the cream just before the procedure. Leaving the cream on the skin could interfere with the procedure.
