Question

The poison control nurse receives a call from the parent of a 2-year-old child. the parent states, “i just took a quick shower, and when i finished, i walked into the kitchen and found my child with an open bottle of household cleaner.” what is the poison control nurse’s appropriate response?

Answer 1

The nurse should ensure that the absorption of the child into his body would be reduced. The nurse should also increase the elimination or excretion of the toxic being taken by the child and he should provide the supportive care.

Answer 2

The poison control nurse’s appropriate response will be "Is your child breathing at this time?"

• Poisoning is harmful to both children and adults and can lead to death within a short period when a child takes poison.

• Once the child had been confirmed to be breathing, the poison should be taken away, then the mother should ensure that the child spits the poison out and the emergency number should be called and the child should be taken to the nearest hospital.

In conclusion, it should be noted that the child should not be forced to vomit by the mother.
