Final Answer :
B,C,E
Explanation :
Keeping the telephone number of the poison control center accessible can help in case of accidental poison ingestion. Using a front-facing car seat placed in the back seat of the car can ensure the child's safety in case of an accident. Covering electrical outlets can prevent the child from sticking their fingers or objects into them. However, sleeping on the back is not a safety precaution for toddlers. Syrup of ipecac is no longer recommended for use in cases of accidental poisoning, so keeping it on hand is not necessary or recommended.
