    Study Notes

    Child Safety

    • Most significant risk factor for death and serious injury in a car crash is failure to use a size-appropriate restraint system
    • Use approved car seat for age and weight (4 yrs/40 lbs, 8 yrs/80 lbs)
    • Infants should be rear-facing until age 2 unless the child reaches the maximum weight/height for the seat
    • Forward-facing seats require a harness system; the back of the seat should be higher than the top of the head
    • Back seats are always the safest; children should remain in back until age 13

    Infant Home Safety

    • Choking hazards
    • Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)
    • Home hazards (stairs, walkers, cords)
    • Falls
    • Accidental poisonings
    • Animal-related harm
    • Water-related accidents (drowning, burns)
    • Toy safety (appropriate for the child's age) - Saturday is the most dangerous day for home accidents
    • Keep small objects out of reach

    Hospital Infant Safety

    • Crib rails up
    • No small objects
    • Minimize bedding
    • Child should be close to the nurse station
    • Encourage family to stay in the room
    • Correct type of formula, correct breast milk for the child
    • Prevent ingestion or poisoning (90% of poisonings occur in the home)
    • Keep small items out of reach of children
    • Teach parents emergency care, proper procedures.
