Practice Question

A nurse is reinforcing education to the caregiver of a 2-year-old toddler diagnosed with lead poisoning. Which of the following statements should the nurse make?

Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

"Prevent the child from playing in areas where lead-based paint may have been used."

Rationale:

🔷 Lead poisoning prevention focuses on avoiding lead dust and soil exposure.

🔷 Outdoor soil near old buildings often contains lead particles.

🔷 Toddlers have frequent hand-to-mouth behavior, increasing ingestion risk.

🔷 Eliminating exposure areas is the most effective primary prevention.

🔷 This aligns with pediatric environmental safety guidelines.

“Cook and store food in lead crystal containers…”

🔷 Lead crystal containers release lead into food—dangerous for children.

🔷 This increases poisoning, not prevents it.

“Let the child play outside often to dilute lead…”

🔷 Outdoor soil can have high lead content.

🔷 Exposure does not “dilute” lead; it increases ingestion.

“Give the child calcium supplements to treat lead poisoning.”

🔷 Calcium reduces absorption, but it does not treat poisoning.

🔷 Chelation therapy is required for actual lead removal.
