First Aid Scenario: Pills
With your young son, Danny, you are visiting a friend at her home. Danny has been playing with a toy truck on the floor, which he now pushed down the hallway into the bathroom. You start to get up to bring him back but your friend says, "That's okay, there's nothing in there he can get into." With normal curiosity of a child, however, Danny starts looking in the bathroom drawers and soon finds a bottle of what looks to him like little candy mints.
