護理師在教導家長如何預防幼兒誤食中毒。哪項敘述正確？
A nurse is educating a parent on how to prevent accidental poisoning in a toddler. Which statement is correct?
- ATell the child that medicine is candy to make them take it告訴孩子藥物是糖果，讓他們服用
- BKeep household cleaning products in their original containers✓ 正解將家庭清潔用品保留在原容器中
- CPlace cleaning products on a low shelf for easy access將清潔用品放在低層架子上以便取用
- DKeep all chemicals unlocked for easy parental use將所有化學品放在未上鎖處以便父母使用
預防幼兒中毒的核心原則是「儲存安全」與「正確標示」。幼兒處於口腔期，對環境充滿好奇且缺乏辨識危險的能力。正確的做法是將危險物品存放在原包裝內，並確保有防童鎖（Child-resistant cap）且置於高處，以避免誤食。護理師應教導家長絕對不可將藥物或化學品稱為「糖果」，這會導致錯誤的認知引發嚴重後果。
The core principles for preventing poisoning in young children are safe storage and correct labeling. Toddlers are in the oral stage and are curious about their environment while lacking the ability to recognize hazards. The correct practice is to keep dangerous items in their original containers, fitted with a child-resistant cap, and placed out of reach to prevent ingestion. The nurse should teach parents never to refer to medication or chemicals as candy, since this misperception can lead to serious consequences.
美國在居家安全教育上極度強調「Child-resistant caps」（防童鎖蓋），並建議家長聯絡 Poison Control Center（中毒控制中心）作為緊急處置的第一線，而非單純送醫。
