1.Safety/Risk Reduction:
-look first for a safety risk.
-Next ask, "whats the risk to the client?" and "how significant is the risk compared to
other posed risks?"

risk to the client's physical well-being
Manifestations include:
-wheezing
-labored breathing
-nasal flaring
-lack of air movement in lungs
-use of accessory muscles
-JVD
-tachycardia
-tachypnea
-hypoxia
-diaphoresis
-risk for cardiac and respiratory arrest: Priority Finding to Report for a Child

2.Prevent bleeding at home:
-environment should be made as safe as possible to prevent injury
-provide a safe home and plat environment
-set activity restrictions to avoid injury. Acceptable activities include low-con- tact
sports (bowling, fishing, swimming, golf). While participating in these activities,
children should wear protective equipment: Developing a Safety Plan for a Child Who
