Study Notes
- School-age children are increasingly exploring their environment (Chapter 12).
- They have friends outside their immediate neighborhood.
- School-age children are more active in school, church, and community activities.
- Specific teaching regarding safety in school and at play is needed for school-age children.
- Table 27.2 contains nursing interventions to help guide parents in providing for the safety of school-age children.
Adolescent Safety Risks
- Risks involve many factors outside the home.
- Much of their time is spent away from home and with their peer group (Chapter 12).
- Adults who serve as positive role models provide examples of how to behave, set expectations, and provide education to minimize risks to adolescent safety.
- Because of peer pressure, this age-group is at risk for alcohol and drug use.
- This age-group has a high incidence of suicide.
- Be aware of the risks and prepared to teach adolescents and their parents the needed preventative measures for accidents and injury.
- Help parents be aware of ways to minimize risk of adolescent suicide.
- Promote good problem-solving abilities (e.g., conflict with peers).
- Support strong connections to families, friends, and people in the community.
- Restrict access to highly lethal means of suicide.
- Encourage cultural and religious beliefs that discourage suicide and that support self-presreservation (Kaslow, 2021).
Adult Safety Risks
- Risks to young and middle-age adults frequently result from lifestyle factors.
- Risk factors include childrearing, high stress levels, inadequate nutrition, use of firearms, excessive alcohol intake, and substance abuse (Chapter 13).
- In this fast-paced society there also appears to be more expression of anger, which can quickly precipitate accidents related to "road rage."
- Help adults understand their safety risks and guide them in making lifestyle modifications.
- Refer to resources such as classes to help quit smoking or for stress management, including employee-assistance programs.
- Encourage adults to exercise regularly, maintain a healthy diet, practice relaxation techniques, and get adequate sleep (Chapter 43).
