Ingestion Many medications
are brightly colored and taste like candy
Toddlers don’t know that pills can be toxic
Ingestion in older children and adolescents is usually intentional
![Page 5: Good Morning! Welcome Applicants!](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681665a550346895dd9dabd/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Ingestion Availability of prescription or nonprescription
drugs should be entertained There may be no specific history of ingestion
In the absence of a clear cause of alteration of concsiousness (afebrile toddler or adolescent), a toxic ingestion should be suspected
If possible, the bottle of meds should be checked for remaining pills
Consult poison control. They are very helpful!!

Risperdal Ingestion
Atypical antipsychotic Dopamine receptor blockade Causes side effects such as acute dystonia,
parkinsonism, akathisia, tardive dyskinesia Children are at increased risk of toxicity
Metabolize these drugs more rapidly Increased bioavailability
Toxicity usually begins within 1 to 2 hours, peaks by 4 to 6, and usually resolves by 12 to 48 hours

Risperdal Ingestion Clinical presentation
Nausea/vomiting Lethargy Drowsiness Somnolence Tachycardia CNS depression
Extrapyramidal side effects (EPS) are more common in children Acute dystonia - involuntary, sustained muscle
contractions that result in twisting and repetitive movements or abnormal postures

Risperdal Ingestion Management
Supportive care Continuous cardiac monitoring, IV access,
reevaluation of mental status Single dose of activated charcoal
Withold in patients who are sedated or unable to protect airway
EPS treated with anticholinergics Diphenhydramine Benztropine

dysrhythmias
