All of the following statements are true regarding the phases of iron poisoning except?
1. Phase II (6-24 hours post ingestion): the calm before the storm: symptoms may improve transiently before the appearance of multisystem toxicity. Patients will appear normal.
2. Phase I (first few hours): bowel edema and hemorrhagic gastroenteritis, with abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, hematemesis, hypovolemic shock, and metabolic acidosis.
3. Phase IV (days to weeks post-ingestion): acute hepatic failure with jaundice, hepatic coma, elevated transaminase and ammonia levels, hypoglycemia and coagulation defects.
4. Phase V (weeks to months post-ingestion): pyloric or proximal bowel scarring may develop, sometimes with obstruction.
5. Phase III (begins about 24 hours following ingestion): lethargy or coma, gastrointestinal bleeding, cardiac failure, metabolic acidosis, renal failure, shock, and leukocytosis. Serum iron levels may be normal.
