The nurse is teaching the parents of a small child strategies to prevent insect bites and stings. Which statement made by the parents indicates a need for further teaching?
 
  1. If my child wears bright colors and floral prints when outdoors, she will blend in with the surroundings, and the stinging insects will not sting her.
   2. My child should avoid heavy colognes, perfumes, and soaps, so that insects are not attracted to them.
   3. We should remove any items with standing water from our yard and surrounding area to prevent mosquito reproduction.
   4. My child can use insect repellent containing DEET of 10 or less.

Rationale:
1. Bright-colored clothing and floral prints attract the insects. White and light-colored clothing should be worn.
2. Heavy colognes, perfumes, soaps, and detergents resemble flowers and plants, and will attract the stinging insects.
3. Standing water is a breeding ground for mosquitoes. Rid yards of all bird baths, stagnant pools, any standing water that mosquitoes could use for breeding.
4. DEET is an appropriate insect repellent, and can be used in children. A concentration of 10 or less is recommended due to neurotoxic effects at greater concentrations.
