Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Initial treatment for a victim of suspected poisoning involves maintaining breathing and cardiac function. This is a priority over communication with the family, establishing IV access or administering other medications.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The parents should not leave the toddler for an unattended bath. Toddlers are naturally inquisitive, and instructing them to stay away from the pool or teaching them that water is dangerous is insufficient to ensure safety.
