Florida Child Welfare Case Manager Certification Practice Exam

Which of the following injuries is of greatest concern?

1. Retinal hemorrhage in infant

2. Bruise on stomach of 10yo

3. Broken leg

4. Burns in hand of a Three year old

The correct answer is: Retinal hemorrhage in infant

Retinal hemorrhage in an infant is of greatest concern because it can potentially indicate severe head trauma or shaken baby syndrome, both of which can have serious and lasting effects on a child's health. Bruises and broken bones are also concerning, but may not have the same immediate and long-term implications as retinal hemorrhages in infants. Burns on the hands of a three year old may require medical attention, but are less likely to have serious consequences compared to retinal hemorrhages.
