Activated charcoal absorbs toxic substances that have been swallowed to prevent them from being absorbed by the stomach. The drug is provided as a powder that must be mixed with water, and not milk, and administered orally or through a nasogastric tube. The solution feels gritty and tastes disagreeable, so it may be difficult to swallow. A nasogastric tube will help decrease the child's discomfort when taking the medication. This medication does not require an indwelling urinary catheter or intravenous infusion for fluid replacement.
Answer to Question 2

Feedback:
Spirituality in the preschool years focuses on the concept of right versus wrong. The 3- to 5-year-old may see death as punishment for wrongdoing, and the nurse must correct this misunderstanding. For the infant, unconditional love and trust are of utmost importance. The toddler, 1 to 3 years old, thrives on familiarity and routine; the nurse should maximize the toddler's time with parents, be consistent, provide favorite toys, and ensure physical comfort. The school-age child has a concrete understanding of death. Children who are 5 to 10 years old need specific, honest details (as desired).
