Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Desired outcomes of the health teaching program should include the ability to identify safety hazards at home and in the community. Safety practices should be applied to the appropriate age group. Parents of newborns and infants should buy cribs that are lead-free and have slats which measure no more 2 3/8 inches apart. The newborn's head might slip in between the slats if the slats are not close enough together. A nine-month-old can crawl and stick his or her fingers in electrical outlets. Preschool and school aged-children should be taught about the dangers of playing in the street or near the railroad tracks.
