Question 1 of 5
A patient is admitted to the emergency room with an accidental overdose of a substance that is caustic. Which therapeutic option should the nurse question?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: inducing vomiting. Inducing vomiting is contraindicated in caustic substance ingestion as it can lead to further damage to the esophagus and airway. A: CBC, B: cardiac monitor placement, and C: activated charcoal are appropriate interventions for monitoring and treating the patient's condition. A CBC can help assess for any systemic effects, placement on a cardiac monitor is necessary for monitoring cardiac function, and activated charcoal can help absorb any remaining substance in the stomach.
Therefore, the nurse should question inducing vomiting as it can exacerbate the patient's condition.
