Motor vehicle related injury is the number one cause of injury related to morbidity and mortality, exceeding 5 million injuries per year. There is a growing body of scientific evidence that motor vehicles equipped with air bags make a significant impact in reducing both the severity of injury and the overall fatality rate. Nurses are a key resource in the prevention and mitigation of motor vehicle related injury. Nurses must not only be knowledgeable in the vital role that air bags play in motor vehicle crashes, but actively promote and educate individuals and groups regarding injury prevention programs that focus on air bags. Nurses also play an essential role in this approach to injury through the development of partnerships among businesses, government, health care, community groups, and consumers.
机动车相关伤害是导致发病和死亡的伤害的首要原因，每年超过500万起伤害事件。越来越多的科学证据表明，配备安全气囊的机动车在降低伤害严重程度和总体死亡率方面具有重大影响。护士是预防和减轻机动车相关伤害的关键资源。护士不仅要了解安全气囊在机动车碰撞中所起的重要作用，还要积极向个人和团体宣传和教育以安全气囊为重点的伤害预防计划。护士还通过在企业、政府、医疗保健、社区团体和消费者之间建立伙伴关系，在这种伤害预防方法中发挥着至关重要的作用。
