Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: Before offering instructions on how to treat the child, it is important for the nurse to question the mother in order to determine the toddler's current condition. Is he alert? Did he lose consciousness? Is he walking around or crying? Can he identify his favorite toys? What do his pupils do when light is shined on them? If he is unconscious, is he breathing? Does he have a pulse? Answers to these questions will determine if the child needs to be taken to the Emergency Department or can be monitored by the mother at home.

Answer to Question 2
