Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Though once considered routine procedure, this method of poison management is now considered ineffective.
Rationale 2: Sodium bicarbonate does not prevent the absorption of a poison.
Rationale 3: Charcoal is used to prevent absorption of the poison.
Rationale 4: Furosemide (Lasix) does not prevent the absorption of a poison.
Global Rationale: Charcoal is used to prevent absorption of the poison. Though once considered routine procedure, syrup of ipecac is now considered ineffective. Sodium bicarbonate and furosemide do not prevent absorption.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Making sure the Poison Control Hotline number is always accessible is important, but another strategy is more critical.
Rationale 2: Educating the community about accidental poisoning is an important part of community health nursing. Prevention is the first line of defense against accidental poisoning.
Rationale 3: Identification of household poisons is important but is not the most effective strategy.
Rationale 4: Storing antidotes is not recommended for the public.
Global Rationale: Educating the community about accidental poisoning is an important part of community health nursing. Prevention is the first line of defense against accidental poisoning. Having emergency phone numbers handy and identifying household poisons are good interventions, but not as important as basic information about prevention. Storing antidotes is not recommended for the public.
