Drowning is the leading cause of accidental death in infants and children in 10 states, and near drowning accounts for more than 10 times as many accidents. Children aged 1 to 4 years are at the highest risk of drowning in residential swimming pools. Education of parents is a key variable in drowning prevention. Knowledge about water safety is centered around three important concepts: (a) supervision, (b) barriers, and (c) emergency procedures. The pediatric nurse plays an invaluable role in educating parents about these concepts and in increasing parents' awareness of safety risks.
溺水是10个州婴幼儿意外死亡的主要原因，而近乎溺水的事故数量是溺水事故的10倍以上。1至4岁的儿童在住宅游泳池溺水的风险最高。对家长进行教育是预防溺水的关键变量。关于水安全的知识围绕三个重要概念：(a) 监管，(b) 屏障，以及 (c) 应急程序。儿科护士在向家长传授这些概念以及提高家长对安全风险的认识方面发挥着不可估量的作用。
