Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Placing a car seat in the front passenger seat of a car is not safe for a toddler. The nurse should provide education on proper car seat placement and safety. The other options indicate that safety measures have been taken, such as removing blind cords and having a high fence around a pool, and using child-proof locks on lower cabinets in the kitchen.
