Care Manager Certification Practice Exam

Which activity signifies a proactive role in patient education regarding child safety?

1. Providing smoking prevention information

2. Conducting ante-natal classes

3. Screening for developmental milestones

4. Setting up car seat safety workshops

The correct answer is: Setting up car seat safety workshops

Setting up car seat safety workshops is an excellent example of a proactive role in patient education regarding child safety. This activity directly addresses a critical aspect of child safety by informing parents and caregivers about the proper installation and use of car seats, which is essential for minimizing the risk of injury in the event of a vehicle collision. By engaging families in this hands-on learning experience, care managers can empower them with the knowledge and skills necessary to keep their children safe during travel. In contrast, while the other activities listed may contribute to child well-being and safety in different contexts, they do not specifically target the immediate and practical aspect of physical safety in transportation, which is what car seat workshops focus on. Providing smoking prevention information primarily educates about the dangers of smoking, conducting ante-natal classes offers guidance and support to expectant parents, and screening for developmental milestones helps identify potential health issues. Each of these plays a role in overall child health but does not directly enhance the understanding and implementation of safety measures like car seat workshops do.
