Which of the following appropriately describes the most common cause(s) of death in children outside of newborns?

Cancer and drowning
Congenital heart disease
Trauma and respiratory conditions
SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome)

Explanation

Answer: C - Trauma and respiratory conditions are the most common causes of death in children outside of newborns. When you are treating a patient with traumatic injuries, keep in mind that the brain is smaller than adults in proportion to their cranium. This can cause brain hematomas when jostled around during a traumatic event.
