Explanation:

• Adolescents are more influenced by peer pressure, which can lead to risky behaviors. Nurses should teach parents to be alert for signs of peer pressure as it is a significant safety concern during adolescence.
• Placing household cleaners out of reach is more relevant for younger children (toddlers, preschoolers) who are more likely to explore and put things in their mouths.
• While climbing and being near deep water can pose risks, peer - pressure - related risks are more characteristic of the adolescent stage.

Answer:

Be alert for signs of peer pressure.
