Correct Answer: 2,4
Rationale: Locking up medications is the safest way to childproof the home. The Poison Control Center should be contacted for any type of medication the toddler has ingested. Syrup of ipecac should only be used if recommended by the Poison Control Center. The Poison Control Center should be contacted, and they will advise if the child is to be kept awake. It is unrealistic to expect a toddler to understand that medications are for adult use only.
