Preschool-age child with acute acetylsalicylic acid poisoning


Question 1 of 5

A nurse in an emergency department is caring for a preschool-age child who has acute acetylsalicylic acid poisoning. Which of the following should the nurse expect?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Hyperpyrexia. Acetylsalicylic acid poisoning can lead to metabolic acidosis, which can cause an increase in body temperature known as hyperpyrexia. This occurs due to the toxic effects of salicylates on the thermoregulatory center in the brain. Polyuria, neck vein distention, and jaundice are not typically associated with acute acetylsalicylic acid poisoning. Polyuria is more commonly seen in diabetes insipidus or kidney issues, neck vein distention may indicate heart failure, and jaundice is a symptom of liver dysfunction.
