A woman calls the emergency department and says, My 2-year-old just swallowed about 20 of my magnesium tablets. What direction should the nurse provide?
 
  1. Call 911 to bring your child to the emergency room immediately.
  2. Watch your child for decreased breathing.
  3. Give your child a glass of milk.
  4. Your child may be sleepy but will not have any permanent damage.
  5. Give your child a laxative tonight and come to the emergency room in the morning.
