Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
An accident or incident that compromises safety in a health care agency requires the completion of a safety event report. This is a confidential document, formerly referred to as an incident report. The safety event report is not a part of the medical record and should not be mentioned in the documentation.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, B, E
Educate parents never to leave newborns alone on a changing table, and also teach parents of toddlers to childproof the home. Parents of preschoolers should make sure their children wear proper safety equipment when riding bicycles or scooters. Adolescents and adults are not at high risk for falls. Older adults, however, are at risk for falls due to the effects of aging on the body systems.
