A public health nurse wants to implement interventions to help reduce the incidence of the leading cause of death among children aged 5 to 9 years. Which of the following prevention programs should the nurse choose to implement?

A program at the local community center offering free CPR classes for parents and caregivers

School-based educational programs about the dangers of drug and alcohol use

A program at the local recreation center offering free swim and water safety courses

A program providing free car seats for families that have young children

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

The leading cause of death among children aged 5 to 9 years is unintentional drowning, particularly in swimming pools or open water. Therefore, implementing a program at the local recreation center offering free swim and water safety courses would be an appropriate prevention intervention.

A, B, and D may be valuable prevention programs addressing other important health concerns, but they do not specifically target the leading cause of death among children aged 5 to 9 years.
