Rationale: The best procedure to follow if a child swallows something poisonous is to telephone the local poison control center. The experts at the poison control center can provide immediate guidance on how to handle the situation based on the specific substance ingested and the child's age and weight. They will advise whether it is necessary to bring the child to the emergency room, induce vomiting, or take other appropriate actions. Providing milk to drink to induce vomiting is not recommended as it can lead to further complications. Identifying the substance the child swallowed is important, but the first step should be to contact the poison control center for immediate assistance.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Serum albumin is a protein that helps maintain oncotic pressure in the blood vessels and prevents fluid from leaking out into the surrounding tissues. In clients with ascites, which is the accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity due to liver disease, administration of serum albumin can help shift the fluid from the abdominal cavity back into the blood vessels. As a result, the expected outcome of this treatment would be a decrease in abdominal girth as the fluid is reabsorbed and redistributed. Administering serum albumin would not directly affect urinary output, serum ammonia levels, or hepatic encephalopathy.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The symptoms Emil is experiencing, such as circumoral tingling, positive Chvostek's sign (facial muscle spasm when the facial nerve is tapped), and positive Trousseau's sign (carpal spasm when a blood pressure cuff is inflated), are characteristic signs of hypocalcemia. Hypocalcemia commonly occurs after thyroidectomy due to inadvertent damage or removal of the parathyroid glands. These glands regulate calcium levels in the body by secreting parathyroid hormone (PTH). Therefore, the symptoms Emil is exhibiting are likely due to the overstimulation of the parathyroid hormone in response to decreased calcium levels after the thyroidectomy. Insufficient iodine intake or overuse of radioactive iodine gland would not be the most likely explanations for his symptoms.
