Providing the name of the grandfather and the name of the physician who prescribed the medication is not necessary information for determining appropriate treatment for the patient's ingestion. Instead, information about the patient's weight, the amount of medication taken, vital signs, and the time the medication was taken are all important factors in determining treatment. Any home remedies attempted by the patient's family may also be relevant and should be included in the report to medical control.
