What is the difference between the injury patterns in children and those of adults?

NREMT pediatric trauma education highlights that children have unique anatomical differences that affect injury patterns.

Option B is correct because children have a proportionally larger head relative to body size, making them more prone to head and cervical spine injuries during trauma.

Option A is incorrect because children actually have greater cervical mobility, increasing injury risk.

Option C is incorrect because children often compensate longer, delaying obvious signs of injury.

Option D is incorrect because fontanelles allow some pressure accommodation.

Understanding these differences is critical for proper pediatric assessment and spinal precautions.
