Question 1 of 5
A nurse working at the poison control center receives a call from a young woman babysitting a 4-yearold child who reportedly swallowed some of his parent's medication. Which statement by the nurse is best at this time?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: "I'm calling emergency personnel for you now." This response is best because it ensures immediate professional help for the child, prioritizing the child's safety. Calling emergency personnel is crucial to ensure proper and timely medical intervention. Other options are less effective: A focuses on identifying the pills, which may waste valuable time; B could be dangerous if the medication is toxic and vomiting is not appropriate; C is not recommended as milk may not be appropriate for all types of medication ingestion.
Therefore, the best course of action is to prioritize the child's well-being by contacting emergency services promptly.
