Lifestyle Risk Factors for Injury: Distracted Driving
Safety & Infection Control · Question from the ATI PN Fundamentals 2023 Proctored Exam study set
Correct answer: Texting while driving
Why this is the answer
Distracted driving is a modifiable behavioral risk factor that substantially increases the likelihood of a motor vehicle collision and resulting injury.
The bigger concept
Injury-prevention items ask you to distinguish modifiable behavioral risks (texting while driving, alcohol use, not wearing a seat belt) from non-modifiable ones (age, prior injury). Behavioral risks are the ones health teaching can change, which is why they show up in data collection. For adults, motor vehicle collisions remain a leading cause of unintentional injury, so distracted driving is a high-yield finding to document and teach about.
