Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Shaken baby syndrome is a serious and life-threatening condition that occurs when infants are violently shaken or thrown, causing brain damage from the rapid movement of the head. The injury can range from mild to severe and can cause long-term developmental, cognitive, and physical impairments. The other options, self-righting, head-sparing, and transient exuberance, do not describe the condition of shaken baby syndrome.
