Study Notes
Child Safety
- Most significant risk factor for death or serious injury in a car crash is failure to use a size-appropriate restraint system
- Use an approved car seat based on age and weight (4 yrs/40 lbs and 8 yrs/80 lbs)
- Infants should be rear-facing until age 2 unless reaching maximum weight/height for the seat
- Forward-facing seats require a harness system and the back of the seat should be higher than the top of the head
- The back seat is the safest location in a vehicle for children
- Child should remain in the back seat until age 13
Home Infant Safety
- Choking hazards
- Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)
- Hazards around the home (stairs, walkers, cords)
- Falling
- Accidental poisoning
- Animals
- Drowning (water-related incidents)
- Burns
- Toy safety
Hospital Infant Safety
- Crib rails up
- No small objects/toys
- Minimize bedding
- Observe tubes given to the child
- Encourage family presence or nearby presence
- Ensure correct type of formula or breast milk for the child
Poison prevention
- Keep medications out of children's reach
- Keep medications in their original containers
- Do not refer to medications as candy
- Provide poison control information
- Assess the child immediately (ABCs - Airway, Breathing, Circulation)
Other points
- Approximately 90% of poisonings occur in the home.
- Developmental characteristics make children more susceptible to accidental poisoning, such as curiosity, experimentation, and imitation.
