Environmental Factors and Health Promotion: Accident Prevention and Safety Promotion for
Parents and Caregivers of Infants

The growth, development, and learned behaviors that occur during the first year of infancy
have a direct effect on the individual throughout a lifetime. For this
assignment, research an environmental factor that poses a threat to the health
or safety of infants and develop a health promotion that can be presented to
caregivers.

Create a 10-12 slide PowerPoint health promotion, with speaker notes, that outlines a
teaching plan. For the presentation of your PowerPoint, use Loom to create a
voice over or a video. Include an additional slide for the Loom link at the
beginning, and an additional slide for references at the end.

Include the following in your presentation:

Describe the selected environmental factor. Explain how the environmental factor you
selected can potentially affect the health or safety of infants.

Create a health promotion plan that can be presented to caregivers to address the
environmental factor and improve the overall health and well-being of infants.

Offer recommendations on accident prevention and safety promotion as they relate to
the selected environmental factor and the health or safety of infants.

Offer examples, interventions, and suggestions from evidence-based research. At least
three scholarly resources are required. Two of the three resources must be
peer-reviewed and no more than 6 years old.

Provide readers with two community resources, a national resource, and a Web-based
resource. Include a brief description and contact information for each
resource.

In developing your PowerPoint, take into consideration the health care literacy
level of your target audience, as well as the demographic of the
caregiver/patient (socioeconomic level, language, culture, and any other relevant
characteristic of the caregiver) for which the presentation is tailored
