Assignment 3

Unique No: 399706

, Case Study 1: Infant Poisoning and Internal Burn Injuries
Approach: In this case, the primary concern is the immediate safety and well-being
of the infant, as well as the other children in the household. The first step is to ensure
that the infant receives the necessary medical care. I would coordinate with the
hospital social worker and medical team to monitor the infant's condition and ensure
that any immediate medical needs are met.


Risks Identified:


▪ Immediate Risk to the Infant: The severity of the burn injuries poses a life-
threatening risk. If the infant survives, the placement of a feeding tube
indicates that ongoing medical supervision will be required.
▪ Risk of Further Harm: Given that the mother had administered poison, there is
a risk of further harm to the infant or her siblings.
▪ Risk to Siblings: The two older children who reside in the same household
might also be at risk of neglect or abuse.


Recommended Interventions:


Medical Intervention: Ensure that the infant is receiving the necessary medical care
in the hospital.
▪ Assessment of the Family Environment: Conduct an assessment of the
mother’s household to understand the dynamics and potential risk factors
present.
▪ Social Services Involvement: Coordinate with child protection services to
explore the safety and well-being of the siblings and the mother.
▪ Counseling and Support Services: Offer counseling and support for the
mother to address her mental health issues and the circumstances that led to
this incident.
▪ Follow-up: Monitor the case closely, ensuring that any necessary actions are
taken to secure the children's safety in the future.
