Question

A couple asks the nurse about placing their 10-year-old child in a car with front-seat passenger air bags. which advice would the nurse provide to this couple?

Answer 1

The advice the nurse should provide to the couple asking about placing their 10-year-old child in a car with front-seat passenger air bags is to advise the couple of the need for an appropriate car seat for this child.

An appropriate car seat should be used for children younger than 8 years old or those who weigh less than 80 pounds. Incase there is an car accident the child would is more likely to have less injuries while being in the back seat compared to being in the front seat in which case the length of the ride does not matter.

Thus with appropriate safety precautions the child can be taken on a long ride. Infants and toddlers should be buckled in a rear-facing car seat with a harness. Air bags pose a danger to children and this might risk their life. Children should always be buckled up no matter the length of the ride. The safest position in the car is middle seating of the back seat and thus children should be placed their when possible.
