A, C, E
The best intervention is to prevent fires. Home fires are a major cause of death and injury. Another problem related to fatal fires is a failure to keep fresh batteries in home smoke detectors. The improper use of cooking equipment and appliances, particularly stoves, is another source for in-home fires. Smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors need to be placed strategically throughout a home. Multipurpose fire extinguishers need to be near the kitchen and any workshop areas. Children at these early stages are curious; they explore their environment, and because of an increase in oral activity, put objects in their mouths. If food is prepared and stored properly, food poisoning risk can be decreased. Temperature changes can lead to hypothermia and/or heatstroke or heat exhaustion.
