Which of the following is a risk factor for shaken baby syndrome?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
The correct answer is A: Low socioeconomic status. Low socioeconomic status can lead to increased stress levels and lack of access to resources, increasing the likelihood of caregiver frustration and potential for shaken baby syndrome. Inadequate parental education (B) may contribute, but is not as directly linked. Having multiple siblings (C) and physical disability of the caregiver (D) are not direct risk factors for shaken baby syndrome.
