Case Study 1: Approach to the Infant Burn Injury Case
1. Immediate Response and Risk Assessment:
a. Initial Assessment:
• Confirm the Situation: Gather all relevant information
from the hospital social worker, including the severity of
the infant’s condition, the suspected cause of the injuries,
and any immediate medical needs.
, • Verify the Address: Confirm the address provided for
accurate location details and safety planning.
b. Risk Identification:
• Risk to the Infant: The primary risk is the severe injury to
the infant, which requires immediate medical attention and
long-term care if she survives. The risk of further harm or
neglect in the home environment must also be considered.
• Risk to Siblings: The two older children (ages 7 and 9)
might be at risk of neglect or abuse and need immediate
assessment for their well-being and safety.
• Risk to the Mother and Household: The young age of the
mother (16 years old) suggests she may lack the maturity
and resources needed to care for her children properly.
Additionally, the living conditions and potential domestic
issues within the household should be assessed.
2. Recommended Interventions:
a. Immediate Actions:
• Hospital Visit: Visit the hospital to gather detailed
information on the infant's medical condition and any
immediate needs. Engage with medical staff to understand
the severity of the situation and the care required for the
infant.
• Assess the Family Situation: Conduct an initial home visit
to evaluate the living conditions, the mother’s capacity to
care for her children, and the environment in which the
children are living.
b. Safety and Protection:
