The nurse is providing information regarding safety and accidental poisoning to a grandparent who will be taking custody of a 1-year-old grandchild. Which comment by the grandparent will cause the nurse to intervene?

A) "The number for poison control is 800-222-1222."
B) "Never induce vomiting if my grandchild drinks bleach."
C) "I should call 911 if my grandchild loses consciousness."
D) "If my grandchild eats a plant, I should provide syrup of ipecac."

The administration of ipecac syrup or induction of vomiting is no longer recommended for routine home treatment of poisoning. The nurse must intervene to provide additional teaching. All the rest are correct and do not require follow up. The poison control number is 800-222-1222. After a caustic substance such as bleach has been drunk, do not induce vomiting. This can cause further burning and injury as the substance is eliminated. Loss of consciousness associated with poisoning requires calling 911.
