    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.
