Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The urine output of a 2-month-old should be between 400 and 500 mL/24 hours.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Traditionally, syrup of ipecac was the treatment of choice to remove some types of poisons from a child's system and parents were advised to keep a supply on hand in the home. However, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) revised this policy in 2003. Parents are now advised to call the poison control center and bring the container of the substance ingested to the hospital emergency department as quickly as possible because stomach lavage is rarely effective 1 hour or more after ingestion. Ipecac syrup should not be kept in the home. Uncontrolled vomiting can cause serious complications.
