D.
Insert an IV for morphine administration
E.
Apply a pulse oximeter

about the size of the container, its contents prior to
ingestion, and its contents remaining following ingestion.

cleaner the child ingested and can assist the provider in
directing treatment. A child who ingests a corrosive
agent is likely to have intense pain due to burns in the
gastrointestinal system. The nurse should administer
morphine as prescribed via IV to provide pain relief. The
,child is also at risk for airway occlusion due to edema
following ingestion of a corrosive agent. Monitoring the
child's oxygen saturation level will help the nurse
recognize if the child's airway is becoming obscured.

contraindicated for the treatment of poisoning with a
corrosive agent because these substances can burn
tissue, which the charcoal could then infiltrate.

poisoning with a corrosive agent because this could re-
expose the upper gastrointestinal system to the corrosive
substance, which can result in further injury.
