The type of injury a child is especially susceptible to at a specific age is most closely related to:
a. Physical health of the child.
b. Developmental level of the child.
c. Educational level of the child.
d. Number of responsible adults in the home.
ANS: B
The child's developmental stage determines the type of injury that is likely to occur. The child's physical health may facilitate his or her recovery from an injury. Educational level is related to developmental level, but it is not as important as the child's developmental level in determining the type of injury. The number of responsible adults in the home may affect the number of unintentional injuries, but the type of injury is related to the child's developmental stage.
