A nurse is counseling parents about preventing lead exposure in their toddler. What recommendation should the nurse provide?**

A. Allowing unlimited screen time on weekends as a reward for good behavior can lead to excessive screen time, which is not recommended. Screen time should be limited.

B. Encouraging educational programs and limiting screen time to 1-2 hours per day is a recommended practice. Educational programs can be beneficial, but screen time should be moderated.

C. Placing the television in the child's bedroom is not recommended, as it can lead to unsupervised and excessive screen time. The television should be placed in a common area where screen time can be monitored.

D. Allowing the preschooler to choose any television program without restrictions is not advisable. Parents should guide the child's screen time and choose appropriate, educational content.

A. Removing old paint chips and repainting the walls with lead-based paint can increase lead exposure. Lead-based paint should be safely removed by professionals following guidelines to prevent contamination.

B. Allowing the toddler to play in areas where renovations involving lead-based paint are ongoing is dangerous. Lead exposure can occur through contact with lead dust and particles during renovations.

C. Providing a diet rich in iron and calcium can help minimize lead absorption, but it does not replace the need for preventive measures to reduce exposure to lead.

D. Regularly cleaning the toddler's toys and hands reduces contact with lead dust, a common source of lead exposure. Handwashing and maintaining a clean environment are essential for lead prevention.
