Question 1 of 5
A nurse in an urgent care clinic is assisting with the care of a toddler who ingested 30 tablets of aspirin. Which of the following substances should the nurse administer to the toddler?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Activated charcoal is often used in cases of drug overdose or poisoning, including aspirin ingestion. It works by binding to the drug or toxin in the stomach, preventing it from being absorbed into the body. This makes activated charcoal an effective treatment for aspirin overdose in a toddler. A chelating agent is a substance that can bind to heavy metals in the body, helping to remove them. While useful in cases of heavy metal poisoning, it would not be the first choice for an aspirin overdose. Acetylcysteine is an antidote for acetaminophen (Tylenol) overdose, not aspirin. It works by replenishing glutathione, a substance that helps to detoxify the liver. Digoxin immune FAB is used to treat digoxin toxicity. Digoxin is a medication used to treat heart conditions, and it is not related to aspirin.
