An assessment of a community has been conducted. The assessment revealed that the number of serious injuries in children has doubled in the past year. Based on this information, the most appropriate community nursing diagnosis is:
1. Noncompliance related to inappropriate use of child safety seats.
2. Risk for injury related to inadequate use of bicycle helmets.
3. Altered family processes related to hospitalization of an injured child.
4. Knowledge deficit related to injury prevention in children.

Rationale:
1. This diagnosis might be appropriate in a specific situation, but knowledge deficit related to injury prevention in children is the only one that is general to the problem as a whole and is, therefore, the most appropriate community nursing diagnosis.
