The Answer is Preschoolers are most likely to be injured by 1) autos, 2) drowning, 3) poisoning, and 4) falling. They are at risk because of their poor impulse control and their inability to assess risk due to their immature prefrontal cortex.
Primary prevention makes a safer situation to reduce the likelihood of injury, such as using streetlights instead of stop signs.
Secondary prevention reduces risk in high-risk situations, such as adding flashing lights at crosswalks.
Tertiary prevention provides a remedy after an injury has occurred, such as quick triage in the emergency room.
