Children, being fond of putting anything they get their hands on into their mouth, are highly susceptible to incidences of choking, infections and most importantly, poisoning. For nurses to be ready for such cases, this week's episode of the Nursing Show is a toxicology segment with Lisa Booze of the Maryland Poison Center which covers the common causes of pediatric poisoning, nursing care of symtpoms, assessment, and patient education for adult guardians on how to prevent child poisoning in their homes. The show also provides news for nurses and links for further review.
