Assuming that all have achieved normal cognitive and emotional development, which of the following children is at greatest risk for accidental poisoning?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
Four-year-olds are at greatest risk for accidental poisoning due to their curiosity, increased mobility, and ability to access household items, combined with limited understanding of danger. One-year-olds have less mobility, while eight- and twelve-year-olds have better cognitive awareness to avoid hazards.
