What should be done with OTC drugs in regards to children to prevent accidental ingestion or overdose?

  1. Store in a high place

  2. Keep out of reach of children

  3. Lock in a box

  4. Ensure child-proof caps are used

The correct answer is: Keep out of reach of children

Keeping OTC drugs out of reach of children is important to prevent accidental ingestion or overdose. While option A may be helpful, it is not a foolproof method as children may still be able to access the drugs if they are determined enough. Option C may also seem like a good idea, but having a locked box can add unnecessary time and stress in case of an emergency. Additionally, option D may not always be effective as child-proof caps can be easy for some children to open or they may have learned how to open them. Overall, keeping OTC drugs out of reach of children is the best way to ensure their safety.
