What is the purpose of the 'Safe Haven Information Packet'?

• A. To provide guidelines for ED triage of infants.
• B. To provide information about Safe Haven laws and resources for relinquishing parents.
• C. To train EMS in neonatal resuscitation.
• D. To outline penalties for unsafe relinquishment.

Answer: (B)

Safe Haven Information Packets are meant to inform parents about Safe Haven laws and the resources available if they need to relinquish a newborn. They explain that in many places a parent can safely and legally surrender a baby at an approved location within a certain time frame, without facing penalties, and they provide practical steps and contacts for getting help—hotlines, hospitals, social services, and support services. The goal is to protect the infant’s safety and connect the parent with support, not to train EMS or outline punishment. This is why information about Safe Haven laws and the available resources is the best fit for the packet.
