Priority and Safety/Assessment (Key Concepts using ADPIE, Safety and Delegation
Principles):
• Risk factors for SIDS include – prone or side lying position, sleeping on a soft surface,
maternal smoking during pregnancy, overheating, late or no prenatal care, young maternal
age, preterm birth and male gender.
• Interventions need to be based on goals of lifestyle changes for the entire family. The goal is
to modify the way the family eats, exercises, and plans daily activities.
• Review 2020 Principles on Safety for Adolescents: Look at violence (weapons, drug abuse,
alcohol abuse) and motor vehicle concepts (drinking and driving, texting): Remember these
are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality for adolescents. Know why and nursing
interventions.
o The Healthy People 2020 objectives for adolescents focus on safety prevention
related to bullying, dating violence, and sexual violence. For an adolescent client who
has begun dating, the nurse should assess the client for the risk of violence. Asking
the client to describe the relationship can indicate to the nurse how the client feels
about the relationship and their partner. Asking when the relationship began is not an
assessment of violence. Inquiring about activities is important, but not a priority.
Asking about friends is not an assessment of the client's risk of violence.
o Nursing interventions: teach not to drink and drive (primary prevention)
• Safety Assessments: Know what environmental things you should look for when assessing
common areas and playgrounds. Know what would put a child at risk; priority interventions,
safety and recommendations.
o When assisting with the evaluation of a playground, the nurse will determine if it
meets safety and developmental needs. The surfaces used, such as gravel, mulch, and
sand, will limit shock from falls. The playground should have a surrounding barrier to
separate children from traffic. Multiple-occupancy or rope swings are not
recommended due to the risk of strangulation. Equipment should be free from
protrusions, such as hooks, which could puncture the skin or entangle clothes.
Ropes, hooks, soft floor
• Healthy People 2020 recommendations regarding gun violence and safety: How would a
community nurse assess and teach families primary prevention principles with respect to
these 2 key concepts? Think priority intervention and safety when reviewing these concepts.
Look at how prevention is important.
o Gun violence is a risk factor for accidental injury or death among children. When
evaluating a client’s home for safety that has a firearm, the priority for the nurse is to
find out where the firearm is stored. Firearms should be stored unloaded, locked, and
the ammunition stored separately in a locked device. Asking about who has access to
the gun, the purpose of the gun, and training for the use of a firearm is important but
is not the priority.
